Looking for Indian equivalents to global structural steel grades like ASTM A36, EN S275JR, or EN S355J2? At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply high-strength structural steel plates that match or outperform these international standards. Whether you’re building industrial sheds, bridges, or machinery components, our IS 2062 Grade A, E250, and E350 plates offer the strength, weldability, and reliability you need — at a better price point and with faster delivery across India and abroad.
Here’s a quick comparison of international grades and their Indian alternatives:
| International Grade | Indian Equivalent (IS 2062) |
|---|---|
| ASTM A36 | IS 2062 Grade A |
| EN 10025 S275JR | IS 2062 E250 |
| EN 10025 S355J2 | IS 2062 E350 |
These Indian substitutes meet the required yield strength, tensile range, and impact resistance for most structural and fabrication needs.
Indian equivalents like IS 2062 E250 and E350 are widely used in:
These grades are chosen for their formability, weldability, and mechanical consistency across high-load and fatigue-prone structures.
| Grade | Yield Strength (MPa) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS 2062 Grade A | Min 250 | 410–540 | 23% |
| IS 2062 E250 | Min 250 | 410–540 | 23% |
| IS 2062 E350 | Min 350 | 490–630 | 22% |
All these grades meet BIS norms and are suitable for welding, bending, and profile cutting.
Indian structural plates closely match the chemical profile of EN and ASTM grades. Here’s a simplified comparison:
| Element | ASTM A36 | S275JR | S355J2 | IS 2062 E250/E350 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C (Max) | 0.26% | 0.25% | 0.23% | 0.20% – 0.22% |
| Mn | 0.60–0.90% | 1.50% Max | 1.60% Max | 1.50% Max |
| Si | 0.40% Max | 0.55% Max | 0.55% Max | 0.45% Max |
| S & P | ≤ 0.05% | ≤ 0.05% | ≤ 0.05% | ≤ 0.045% |
This chemical balance ensures strength with superior weldability and machinability, especially in IS 2062 E350 steel.
Our IS 2062 structural steel plates are manufactured to align with global benchmarks. Here’s how they match international equivalents:
| Standard | Indian Equivalent |
|---|---|
| ASTM A36 | IS 2062 Grade A |
| EN 10025 S275JR | IS 2062 E250 |
| EN 10025 S355J2 | IS 2062 E350 / E450 |
| AS/NZS 3678 Grade 250 | IS 2062 E250 |
| JIS G3101 SS400 | IS 2062 Grade A/E250 |
This allows buyers to confidently replace foreign grades in design specs with Indian structural plates for cost-effective and faster project execution.
We stock IS 2062 Grade A / E250 / E350 plates in a wide range of sizes:
We also offer custom profiling and CNC cutting for ready-to-use structural components.
Indian steel mills follow BIS norms, ensuring dimensional accuracy and low residual stress — critical for infrastructure and OEM use.
Fabricators, EPC contractors, and builders prefer Indian plates over imported ones because:
Hindustan Steel Corporation adds further value with quick dispatches, flexible MOQs, and personalized buyer support.
Beyond IS 2062, we also offer:
These can replace global grades such as S355J2+N, A572 Gr 50, and more, depending on the application.
Hindustan Steel Corporation supplies Indian equivalents to A36, S355, and S275 to over 40 countries across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and South America. Our export-ready IS 2062 structural steel plates meet:
We offer marine-worthy packaging, edge preparation, and test certification bundles to suit your country’s project documentation needs.
Always cross-verify dimensional tolerance, surface finish, and third-party inspection if the end-use is in load-bearing structures.
Our structural plates meet the following certifications and QA standards:
Each consignment is supplied with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) and Heat Number traceability.
We offer:
IS 2062 E250 structural steel is an ideal substitute for S275JR in most construction applications.
Yes, IS 2062 E350B or E350C are commonly used as alternatives to S355J2 due to similar strength and impact resistance.
Yes, we offer CE-certified material on request to meet EN norms and project specifications in Europe.
Absolutely. E250 and E350 grades are widely used in bridges, towers, sheds, and buildings across India and abroad.
Indian plates can offer 10–25% cost savings compared to imported materials without compromising on quality.
Yield strength: 250 MPa (min), UTS: 410 MPa (min), Elongation: 23% (min) – matching ASTM A36 closely.
For pressure equipment, use IS 2002 or SA 516 Gr 70. IS 2062 is not pressure vessel rated.
SAIL, JSPL, and AMNS produce E350 and E450 plates with similar properties to S355J2.
Yes, all IS 2062 grades offer excellent weldability with standard electrodes and MIG/MAG techniques.
Definitely. We offer cut-to-length, CNC profiled, and edge-prepped plates ready for fabrication.
Yes, upon request, we provide 3.1 MTCs with full test data and traceability.
IS 2062 Grade A is often used as an alternative to JIS SS400 in general structural applications.
Standard IS 2062 plates are not weathering steel, but surface treatments or coatings can enhance corrosion resistance.
For standard sizes: 7–10 days. For custom profiles or bulk loads: 2–3 weeks depending on availability.
