EN 1.0038 Steel S235JR Material Equivalent, Properties, Composition
EN 10025 S235JR Material (1.0038 Steel)
EN 10025 S235JR material (1.0038 steel) is an European standard hot rolled non-alloy structural steel. It has good plasticity, toughness and weldability, moderate strength and good cold bending properties.
Material S235JR meaning (designation):
- “S” is for Structural Steel;
- “235” represents the minimum yield strength (MPa) for the steel thickness ≤ 16mm;
- “JR” indicates the quality grade related to Charpy impact test energy value ≥ 27 J at room temperature (20 °C);
- “C” indicates the material is suitable for cold flanging, cold bending, cold forming or cold drawing, e.g. S235JRC (1.0122).
- 1.0038 is the steel number of this material.
Carbon steel S235JR general delivery conditions are as follows:
- +AR means “As-Rolled” and delivery condition without special rolling and/or heat treatment.
- +N is short for “Normalized or normalized formed”
- +M represents “Thermal Mechanical Control Processing – TMCP”
- +C is the “Cold work hardened”
- +A indicates that the material is in the soft annealed condition.
- +AT means that the steel is in the solution annealed condition.
- More designation & meaning of European steel names
Example 1: When the delivery condition is as-rolled or normalized, the steel name is given as S235JR+AR (1.0038+AR) or S235JR+N (1.0038+N).
Example 2: S235JRC steel means the material is suitable for cold flanging, cold bending, cold forming or cold drawing.
Example 3: If S235JRC steel is delivered in the condition of cold work hardened, it’s named as S235JRC+C (1.0122+C).

What is the equivalent material S235 for Indian standard
Hello can you please tell me S235JRC’s optical properties. i need emissivity or absorbtivity
Good day World Material,
Can you please advise the equivalent material S235JR for Australian Standard ie: 250 or 350 Grade plate
Hi, it’s chemical composition and properties are closer to 250 grade steel plate in Australian & New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 3678: 2016 (Structural steel – Hot-rolled plates, floor plates and slabs), but material S235JR is non-alloy structural steel and doesn’t contain Al, Cr, Ni, Mo, and Ti.
And also closer to grade 250 in AS/NZS 3679.1 :1996 (Structural steel Part 1: Hot-rolled bars and sections), but grade 250 has been removed since 2010.
What is the equivalent Grade in Indian Standard for this Material Grade – EN10025-2 S235JR + AR
And also wat is this AR means ???
Someone do your needful
You can use IS 2062 E250 or ASTM A36 which are readily available in Indian Market.
AR means As Rolled.
