Technical Specifications

Product Overview

Metallurgical Characteristics

S235JR exhibits a ferritic-pearlitic microstructure typical of low-carbon structural steels. The controlled carbon content ensures excellent weldability while maintaining adequate strength for structural applications. The fine grain structure achieved through controlled rolling provides optimal balance between strength and ductility, essential for construction applications.

Heat Treatment Process

MetalZenith employs controlled hot rolling at temperatures between 1050-1200°C followed by controlled cooling to achieve optimal mechanical properties. Normalizing treatment at 850-950°C may be applied for enhanced uniformity and stress relief, particularly for thick sections used in critical structural applications.

Manufacturing Process

Our advanced manufacturing process includes continuous casting, controlled hot rolling with precise temperature monitoring, and quality inspection at every stage. MetalZenith's state-of-the-art rolling mills ensure consistent dimensional accuracy and surface quality essential for structural fabrication.

Structural Quality Testing

Comprehensive testing protocols include weldability assessment per AWS D1.1 standards, bend testing for formability evaluation, fatigue testing under cyclic loading conditions, and atmospheric corrosion resistance testing. Impact testing ensures adequate toughness for structural applications in various temperature conditions.

Application Engineering

For building structures, S235JR provides excellent load-bearing capacity with superior weldability for complex connections. In bridge engineering, its fatigue resistance and atmospheric corrosion properties ensure long-term durability. For mechanical manufacturing, the steel's formability enables complex shapes while maintaining structural integrity. Vehicle manufacturing benefits from its lightweight strength ratio and crash energy absorption characteristics.
