  • Straightness: ≤ 0.2% of length
  • Length tolerance: ±50 mm (typical commercial supply)

Mechanical Properties of EN 10219 S275 Steel

EN 10219 S275 steel combines strength, ductility, and weldability, making it highly suitable for a wide range of structural applications in construction and engineering projects.

Key Mechanical Properties

  • Yield Strength:≥ 275 MPa
  • Tensile Strength:410 – 560 MPa
  • Elongation:approximately 20–23% (depending on thickness)

Engineering Characteristics

S275 steel exhibits stable mechanical properties under standard structural loading conditions. The material demonstrates good plastic deformation capacity prior to failure, thereby enhancing safety in structural applications.

Furthermore, the material possesses excellent weldability, allowing for efficient fabrication and processing under most standard operating conditions without the need for complex preheating procedures.

EN 10219 S275 Chemical Composition (Typical Range)

S275 is a low-carbon structural steel designed for easy fabrication:

  • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.21%
  • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 1.50%
  • Silicon (Si): ≤ 0.55%
  • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.045%
  • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.045%
  • Carbon Equivalent (CE): ≤ 0.45 (typical)

The low carbon content of S275 steel plays a crucial role in ensuring excellent weldability and minimizing the risk of cracking during fabrication. Controlled levels of manganese and silicon enhance strength and toughness without compromising the material’s ductility.

Overall, this balanced chemical composition makes S275 suitable for cold-forming processes, welded structural sections, and a wide range of engineering applications requiring reliability and consistency.
