Jan 31, 2026 Leave a message

If you are looking for a cost-effective structural steel for construction, fabrication, or general engineering projects, S235J0 steel plate is one of the most widely used grades under EN 10025-2.
As a manufacturer and global supplier, GNEE Steel provides S235J0 steel plate with stable mechanical performance, verified chemical composition, and full mill test certification.

We supply S235J0 steel plates directly from our mills and warehouses, supporting bulk orders, project supply, and third-party inspection. Our goal is to ensure consistent quality, competitive pricing, and reliable delivery for your projects.

 

What Is S235J0 Steel Plate (EN 10025-2)?

S235J0 is a non-alloy structural steel grade specified in DIN EN 10025-2, with material number 1.0114.
The designation "S" refers to structural steel, while 235 MPa indicates the minimum yield strength.

The J0 suffix means the steel is tested for impact toughness at 0°C, making it suitable for structures exposed to moderate low-temperature environments.

Typical applications include:

Steel structures and frames

Bridges and industrial buildings

Machinery bases and supports

Welded and bolted constructions

 

Mechanical Properties of S235J0 Steel Plate

The mechanical performance of S235J0 steel plate ensures good formability, weldability, and structural reliability.
