ASTM A283 Grade C Steel Plate – Low Carbon, Easy-to-Form & Structurally Reliable
ASTM A283 Grade C is a commercial-grade low-carbon structural steel plate known for its excellent formability, weldability, and cost-efficiency in non-critical load-bearing applications. Hindustan Steel Corporation supplies A283 Gr C plates that meet ASTM, ASME, and equivalent global standards, ideal for tank fabrication, base plates, ducts, bridges, and non-pressure structural components.
For buyers looking to match DSQ steel or IS 2062 E250A in formability—but want globally accepted mechanical tolerances—A283 Gr C offers the perfect alternative.
ASTM A283 Grade C is a standard carbon-manganese steel plate under ASTM A283 specification, designed for moderate strength and excellent bendability. It’s often used in fabrication where structural toughness isn’t critical but consistent shaping, cold forming, and weld compatibility are key.
With a yield strength of ~205 MPa and tensile strength up to 415 MPa, A283 Gr C offers a soft working profile—ideal for press-formed tanks, structural frames, and general steel construction.
ASTM A283 Grade C plates are preferred in:
Its formable temper, clean surface, and cost-efficiency make it a practical replacement for DSQ or IS 2062 E250 in export-ready builds.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Yield Strength (min) | 205 MPa |
| Tensile Strength | 380–515 MPa |
| Elongation (% in 200 mm) | 20–24% |
| Hardness (BHN) | ~120–140 |
| Modulus of Elasticity | ~200 GPa |
| Weldability | Excellent |
| Cold Bending | Very Good |
These characteristics mirror DSQ plate behavior, making A283 Gr C a preferred global alternative when IS 2062 isn’t available or ASTM certification is required.
ASTM A283 Grade C is part of the A283 specification that covers four grades (A, B, C, D) of carbon steel plates. Grade C offers a balanced mix of strength and formability, making it ideal for non-critical structures.
Here’s how it compares with Indian, European, and other global equivalents:
| Standard | Equivalent Grade |
|---|---|
| ASTM A283 Grade C | IS 2062 E250A (approx.) |
| EN 10025 | S235JR / S235JO |
| DIN | St37-2 |
| JIS | SS400 |
| ASME | SA 283 Gr C |
| AISI | 1015 (chemical similarity) |
Buyer Note: While DSQ and A283 Gr C are not listed as direct equivalents, both offer dead-soft, low-strength forming grades for light to moderate stress fabrication.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply ASTM A283 Gr C plates with the following availability:
We also offer cut-to-size supply, hole punching, surface prep, and flattening services as per your drawings.
A283 Grade C is not a quenched and tempered steel. Its strength lies in workability, not toughness—ideal for shape-heavy designs and tanks.
A283 Gr C is a fabricator’s steel—built for processes like:
Recommendation: Always use a minimum internal bend radius of 2.5–3x plate thickness for cold bends on A283 C grade.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we go beyond basic plate supply:
We’re trusted by contractors, OEMs, and project buyers across India, UAE, Africa, and South Asia.
If you’re evaluating A283 Grade C, these are relevant alternatives:
Tip: If you’re bidding for international projects, ASTM A283 Grade C adds global material compliance to your portfolio.
Hindustan Steel Corporation exports ASTM A283 Grade C plates to over 25 countries, primarily in the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Our clients include:
Packaging & Handling:
We offer custom-length supply, urgent dispatch, and coordination with freight forwarders for project-based deliveries.
If you’re confused between A36, DSQ, and A283, use this simple selection guide:
| Requirement | Grade to Choose |
|---|---|
| Global compliance + formability | ASTM A283 Grade C |
| Just structural steel (local) | IS 2062 E250A |
| Easy press-forming or deep drawing | DSQ Plate |
| Cost-effective standard | ASTM A36 |
| Project needs normalized or stress-relieved steel | A283 Gr C (Optional HT) |
A283 Gr C balances workability, economy, and international standard compliance—perfect for OEMs, EPC contractors, and international project suppliers.
We deliver all ASTM A283 Grade C plates with the following documentation:
Every batch is fully documented for tender approvals, EPC submissions, and pressure-vessel declarations (if applicable).
Minimum yield is around 205 MPa, with tensile strength up to 515 MPa.
Yes. A283 Gr C is roughly equivalent to IS 2062 E250A, used for similar applications.
A36 has higher yield strength (~250 MPa). A283 Gr C is softer and better for shaping/forming.
Yes, it’s designed for easy forming, cold rolling, and press bending.
Absolutely. It offers excellent weldability with no special prep required.
Yes, standard supply is as-rolled HR. Annealed/stress-relieved optional.
No. It’s not certified for pressure vessels. Use A285 or A516 Gr 60/70 for boilers.
S235JR or St37-2 are generally used as equivalents.
Yes. They are suitable for hot dip or electro-galvanizing.
We supply 3 mm to 50 mm thickness; custom width and length options also available.
Structural frames, tank panels, ducting, platforms, and brackets.
Generally yes, due to lower strength—but depends on market and form.
Yes, we provide MTC, TPI, and country-of-origin certificates.
