S355J2H is a non-alloy structural steel grade specified in EN 10210-1, with a material number of 1.0576. This grade is used for hot-finished structural hollow sections, including seamless and welded sections.
S355J2H is a non-alloy structural steel grade specified in EN 10210-1. Its material number is 1.0576.
The designation S355J2H indicates:
S — Structural steel
355 — Minimum yield strength of 355 MPa for wall thicknesses up to 16 mm
J2 — Minimum impact energy of 27 J at -20°C
H — Hollow section
Under EN 10210-1, S355J2H is used for structural hollow sections. The standard covers hot-finished seamless and welded hollow sections in circular, square, rectangular, and elliptical forms.
EN 10219-1 covers cold-formed welded structural hollow sections. S355J2H is also specified under EN 10219, but the two standards cover different manufacturing routes.
The chemical composition of S355J2H (1.0576) is specified in EN 10210-1. The limits below are based on cast analysis for products with a specified wall thickness of up to 120 mm.
| Element | Maximum content (% by mass) |
|---|---|
| C | 0.22 |
| Si | 0.55 |
| Mn | 1.60 |
| P | 0.030 |
| S | 0.030 |
| N | — |
Deoxidation: FF — fully killed steel containing nitrogen-binding elements in amounts sufficient to bind available nitrogen.
The maximum CEV for S355J2H varies with the specified wall thickness:
| Wall thickness (mm) | Maximum CEV (%) |
|---|---|
| ≤16 | 0.45 |
| >16 to ≤40 | 0.47 |
| >40 to ≤65 | 0.50 |
| >65 to ≤120 | 0.53 |
The CEV limits are used when assessing the weldability of the steel.
The mechanical properties of EN 10210 S355J2H (1.0576) depend on the specified nominal wall thickness.
| Nominal Wall Thickness (t, mm) | Min. Yield Strength ReH (MPa) | Tensile Strength Rm (MPa) | Min. Elongation A (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| t ≤ 16 | 355 | 470–630* | 22 |
| 16 < t ≤ 40 | 345 | 470–630 | 22 |
| 40 < t ≤ 63 | 335 | 470–630 | 21 |
| 63 < t ≤ 80 | 325 | 470–630 | 20 |
| 80 < t ≤ 100 | 315 | 470–630 | 20 |
| 100 < t ≤ 120 | 295 | 450–600 | 18 |
For wall thicknesses below 3 mm, the specified tensile strength is 510–680 MPa. For wall thicknesses above 3 mm and up to 100 mm, it is 470–630 MPa.
