GOST 380-94 Grade St3 Steel Plates – Stockist, Supplier & Exporter in India

GOST 380-94 Grade St3 structural steel plates are among the most widely used general-purpose carbon steels in Russian, CIS, and Eurasian-standard engineering projects. Recognized for their balance of workability, strength, and affordability, these plates are ideal for civil structures, fabrication units, agricultural equipment, machinery frames, and welded construction. At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we stock and supply St3 grade plates in hot-rolled and normalized conditions, complete with Mill TC, chemical-mechanical reports, and export-ready packaging. Our in-house inventory meets urgent demands for domestic and international buyers across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe.

We offer ready stock in custom sizes, thicknesses from 3 mm to 150 mm, and widths up to 3000 mm, with shearing, profiling, and surface treatments available on request.

What is GOST 380-94 St3 Plate? Uses, Grades, and Yield Strength

GOST 380-94 is a Russian standard for ordinary quality structural carbon steel, and the St3 grade within it is equivalent to low-carbon structural steels used globally. St3 plates are supplied in three delivery conditions: St3ps (semi-killed), St3sp (killed), and St3kp (rimmed steel), with slight variation in mechanical properties and deoxidation levels.

These plates are used in structural frames, bridges, railings, machine parts, and equipment that do not require high strength or corrosion resistance. With a yield strength of approximately 245–285 MPa and good cold-forming characteristics, GOST St3 is favored in lightweight structures and mass fabrication work.

Applications of GOST St3 Steel Plates Across Industries

GOST 380-94 Grade St3 steel plates are popularly used in:

  • Steel structures and general fabrication
  • Machine body parts and mild load-bearing frames
  • Construction of storage tanks, conveyors, silos
  • Agricultural tools, machinery chassis, and trailers
  • Pipe fabrication and framework
  • Repairs of existing Soviet/CIS-based infrastructure
  • Industrial sheds and plant construction

St3 plates are often chosen where cost-effectiveness and ease of welding or forming are critical, especially in economies using GOST or hybrid material standards.

GOST St3 Mechanical Properties (Yield Strength, UTS, Elongation)

Property Value Range
Yield Strength 245 – 285 MPa
Tensile Strength (UTS) 370 – 510 MPa
Elongation (%) ≥ 20%
Thickness Range 3 mm to 150 mm
Deoxidation Type Rimmed / Semi-killed / Killed
Impact Resistance Moderate (not notch-toughened)

Note: Mechanical properties may vary slightly based on subgrade (St3kp, St3ps, St3sp) and plate thickness

5 Buyer Tips Before Purchasing GOST St3 Plates

  1. Clarify Variant (SP/PS/KP): Confirm if you need killed (SP), semi-killed (PS), or rimmed (KP) steel based on weldability and strength.
  2. Check Equivalents: If your drawing specifies EN or ASTM grades, ask for dual-certified plates to avoid rejections.
  3. Verify Test Certificates: Always demand MTCs and dimensional inspection reports to match the specs.
  4. Ask for Pre-Processing: Save fabrication time by requesting edge preparation, custom cutting, or drilled profiles.
  5. Confirm Export Compliance: If you’re importing outside India, ensure the plates have valid export packaging and markings.

FAQs for GOST 380-94 Grade St3 Plates

These refer to deoxidation levels: SP (fully killed), PS (semi-killed), KP (rimmed steel). SP offers better welding performance.

Yes, St3 is roughly equivalent to ASTM A36 and IS 2062 E250, though minor variations exist in chemical composition and strength.

Yield strength: 235–255 MPa, tensile strength: 370–510 MPa, elongation: ~20%, with good ductility and moderate strength.

Yes. St3 has good weldability, bendability, and can be cut, drilled, or formed without risk of cracking under standard procedures.

Available in 3mm to 100mm thickness, widths up to 2500mm, and lengths up to 12 meters. Custom cut lengths also supplied.

Yes, it can be supplied as hot-rolled, normalized (N), or thermomechanically controlled processed (TMCP) on request.

We provide EN 10204 3.1 MTCs, dimensional reports, ultrasonic testing, and third-party inspection if required.

Yes, we offer dual certification based on mechanical properties that align with EN S235JR or ASTM A36 equivalents.

Industries include construction, telecom tower fabrication, structural welding, light engineering, and railway infrastructure.

They are not corrosion-resistant. For outdoor use, primer painting or oiling is recommended to prevent rusting.

Plates are exported with seaworthy packaging, custom markings, and documents like COO, B/L, Invoice, and Packing List.
