EN 10225 S420G3 Introduce
EN 10225 is a European steel standard, which is part of the EN 10225 series of European structural steel standards. It defines technical delivery conditions for offshore structures, specifically for steel grade S355G2+N. This standard was released in 2009 and was designed to replace the previous BS7191 standard. It is important to note that this standard applies specifically to offshore structures and not to bridges, buildings, or any type of municipal structures.
Smelting temperature:1786°C - 1789°C
Application:Weldable structural steel with fixed offshore structure - Technical delivery conditions
EN 10225 S420G3 Material Mechanical Properties
EN 10225 S420G3 steel is also highly tough, meaning it can resist energy-absorbing impacts without incurring structural damage. This is due to a combination of its ductile properties and high yield strength. The combination of these properties makes EN 10225 S420G3 steel capable of withstanding impact forces with minimal damage.
The mechanical properties of the EN 10225 S420G3 steel are as follows:
