EN standard carbon steel plates comply with European Norms (EN) established by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), ensuring uniformity and compatibility across European markets and international projects adopting EU standards. These plates are classified based on chemical composition, mechanical properties, and application requirements, with common grades including S235, S275, and S355, where the number denotes the minimum yield strength in MPa. EN 10025 is the primary standard governing structural steel, specifying requirements for melting processes, chemical analysis, tensile tests, impact tests, and surface quality. Chemical composition control is strict, with limits on carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and other elements to ensure weldability and mechanical performance. For example, S355 grade steel has a carbon content ≤0.22%, manganese ≤1.60%, and phosphorus/sulfur ≤0.035%, balancing strength and formability. Mechanical properties include tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation, with impact resistance tested at specific temperatures (e.g., 20°C for improved toughness). EN standard carbon steel plates are widely used in construction (bridges, buildings, steel frames), mechanical engineering, and infrastructure projects. Their standardized properties simplify material selection and ensure compliance with European building codes and regulations. Suppliers often provide CE marking and test certificates to verify conformity, making them suitable for projects requiring regulatory compliance and traceability.
