DIN St37-2 / St52-3 Structural Steel Plates

Hindustan Steel Corporation offers DIN St37-2 and St52-3 structural steel plates, manufactured as per DIN 17100 specifications. These German-standard plates are widely used for general structural and engineering applications due to their high strength, excellent formability, and weldability.

We supply cut-to-size, certified plates in both grades for buyers seeking cost-effective European equivalents of IS 2062 and EN 10025 steel plates — ideal for fabrication, civil infrastructure, pressure vessels, and machine components.

What is DIN 17100? St37 and St52 Grades Explained

DIN 17100 is the German standard for hot-rolled structural steel plates used in construction and general engineering. It defines grades like:

  • St37-2 – Basic structural grade with low carbon content and high ductility
  • St52-3 – High-tensile steel with enhanced strength and impact resistance

Both grades are commonly used in steel structures, equipment manufacturing, and base frames. The number “37” or “52” refers to the minimum yield strength in kgf/mm², roughly equivalent to 235 MPa and 355 MPa respectively.

Applications of St37-2 and St52-3 in Structural Steel Fabrication

These grades serve as workhorse materials across industries where forming, welding, and strength are required in tandem:

  • Steel Bridges & Highway Infrastructure
  • Industrial Buildings, PEBs, and Sheds
  • Trailers, Truck Frames, and Chassis
  • Rail Wagons, Coaches, Bogies
  • Machine Beds, Base Frames, and Hydraulic Presses
  • Storage Tanks, Skids & Shells
  • Heavy Equipment & Structural Bracing

St52-3 is especially preferred in applications requiring impact-tested, high-load components, while St37-2 serves well in standard fabrications.

Mechanical Properties of DIN St37-2 / St52-3 Plates

Property St37-2 St52-3
Yield Strength ≥ 235 MPa ≥ 355 MPa
Tensile Strength 360 – 510 MPa 490 – 630 MPa
Elongation ≥ 25% ≥ 22%
Impact Resistance Notch tested (opt) 27J @ -20°C (std)
Density 7.85 g/cm³ 7.85 g/cm³
Formability Excellent Good

Plates are supplied in normalized (N) or as-rolled (AR) condition, based on project needs.

DIN St37-2 vs St52-3 – Key Differences in Grades

Feature St37-2 St52-3
Yield Strength ≥ 235 MPa ≥ 355 MPa
Tensile Strength 360–510 MPa 490–630 MPa
Ductility Very High Moderate–High
Impact Resistance Optional 27J @ -20°C
Cost Lower Slightly higher
Best For Standard fabrication Load-bearing structures
  • Choose St37-2 for cost-effective, weldable components.
  • Opt for St52-3 when higher strength and impact toughness are critical.

Plate Size, Thickness, and Supply Range

Hindustan Steel offers DIN St37 and St52 plates in a wide dimensional spectrum:

  1. Thickness: 5 mm to 150 mm
  2. Width: 1000 mm / 1250 mm / 1500 mm / 2000 mm / 2500 mm
  3. Length: 6000 mm to 12000 mm (or as per project BOQ)
  4. Edge Condition: Mill edge or sheared edge
  5. Supply Condition: As Rolled / Normalized (N)
  6. Surface Options: Shot blasted + primer coated (on request)

We also provide nesting, cutting, edge preparation, and packaging for immediate fabrication use.

Fabrication, Welding, and Machining Capabilities

Both St37-2 and St52-3 plates are well-suited for fabrication, offering:

  • Easy welding with MIG/TIG/SAW/SMAW methods
  • Good cold-forming and bending characteristics
  • Compatible with mechanical and thermal cutting
  • Supports machining, rolling, and drilling without post-treatment
  • Pre-heating may be required for thick sections or multi-pass welds (especially in St52-3)

St52-3 is preferred in high-fatigue or dynamic applications due to its enhanced toughness.

DIN vs EN vs IS vs ASTM – Equivalent Grade Comparisons

DIN Grade EN Equivalent IS Equivalent ASTM Equivalent
St37-2 S235JR IS 2062 E250 ASTM A36
St52-3 S355J2 IS 2062 E350 ASTM A572 Gr 50

This makes DIN 17100 grades compatible with international standards across Europe, India, and the USA — enabling easy substitution in global BOQs.
