ASTM A36M steel is a very frequently used hot-rolled mild steel. A36M steel maintains a somewhat rough surface and can be machined and manipulated using a variety of processes. These include multiple types of welding, as well as grinding, drilling, punching, and riveting.
In European, there is also a steel grade as popular as A36M steel. What is ASTM A36M equivalent European standard? The steel grade S235JR under EN10025-2 would be comparable to ASTM A36M specifications. Below let us check the analysis.
ASTM A36M Equivalent European Standard S235JR chemical composition:
| Grade | C (t≤16mm) | Si | Mn | P | S | Cu | N |
| A36 | 0.26 max | 0.40 max | - | 0.04 max | 0.05 max | 0.20 min | - |
| S235JR | 0.19 max | - | 1.5 max | 0.045 max | 0.045 max | 0.60 max | 0.014 max |
ASTM A36M Equivalent European Standard S235JR mechanical properties:
| Grade | Yield strength ReH/(N/mm2) (t≤16mm) min | Tensile strength Rm/(N/mm2) (3mm≤t≤16mm) | Elongation A/% (3mm≤t≤40mm) min | Charpy V test | |
| Temperature/℃ | Impact energy (Longitudinal)/J min | ||||
| A36 | 250 | 400-550 | 23 | - | - |
| S235JR | 235 | 360-510 | 26 | +20 | 27 |
A36 steel and ASTM A36M Equivalent European Standard EN10025-2 S235JR steel are used in many different industries for a variety of applications because of their relatively low cost.
