Indian Equivalent to S355 / A572 / S690QL – Steel Grade Match for Your Projects
Introduction to the Need for Equivalents
Global projects often require material matching — and if your original design specifies EN 10025 S355J2, ASTM A572 Gr 50, or EN 10025-6 S690QL, you’ll likely ask:
“What is the Indian equivalent grade for these high strength steels?”
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we simplify this by offering tested Indian-grade alternatives like IS 2062 E350/E450, SAILMA, HIND Plates, and Q+T options — engineered to match strength, weldability, and impact resistance.
| Grade | Yield Strength (MPa) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| S355J2 | 355 | 470–630 | EN 10025-2, structural grade |
| A572 Gr 50 | 345–355 | 450–620 | ASTM structural spec |
| S690QL | 690 | 770–940 | Q+T, low alloy high strength |
| IS 2062 E350 | 350 | 490–610 | Indian standard equivalent |
| SAILMA 350 | 350 | 490–610 | Indian make, used in trailers |
| HIND E450BR | 450 | 550–610 | Impact tested, EN compliant |
| Sail Hiten 550 | 550 | 650–780 | Closest match to S690QL |
| Element | S355J2 | A572 Gr 50 | IS 2062 E350 | SAILMA 450 | S690QL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | 0.20 | 0.23 | 0.20 | 0.18 | 0.20 |
| Manganese | 1.60 | 1.35 | 1.50 | 1.60 | 0.70–1.6 |
| Sulphur | 0.035 | 0.050 | 0.045 | 0.030 | 0.010 |
| Phosphorus | 0.035 | 0.040 | 0.045 | 0.030 | 0.020 |
Indian equivalents maintain lower carbon content for better weldability and toughness.
| Global Grade | Indian Equivalent | Standard Code |
|---|---|---|
| S355J2 | IS 2062 E350 / HIND E350 | BIS |
| A572 Gr 50 | SAILMA 350 / IS 2062 E350 | SAIL / BIS |
| S690QL | Sail Hiten 550 / JFE Hiten 780LE | SAIL / JFE Japan |
| EN 10025-6 | Dillimax 690T / SAILMA 550 / NAXTRA 70 | European + Indian Q+T |
We maintain in-stock availability of most Indian substitutes for immediate delivery.
Also ideal for government and public sector tenders requiring “Make in India” compliance.

IS 2062 E350 or SAILMA 350 are commonly used as Indian alternatives.
SAILMA 350 and IS 2062 E350 both offer similar yield strength and weldability.
Sail Hiten 550, Hiten 600, and imported JFE Hiten 780LE are suitable matches.
SAILMA offers better toughness and impact properties for demanding applications.
Yes, especially E350 and E450 variants, provided mechanical specs are matched.
Many Indian grades are EN-compliant and come with PED, CE, and IBR approvals.
SAILMA 350 or HIND E350BR are recommended for trailer and tipper body fabrication.
Yes, Indian steel is significantly more economical while maintaining performance.
Yes, BIS-certified Indian plates are widely used in public infrastructure projects.
SAILMA has slightly higher impact toughness and is made by SAIL mills.
Yes, every order is shipped with MTC 3.1 or 3.2 and inspection reports.
Yes. From 5 mm up to 150 mm, cut-to-size and CNC profile options are available.
Absolutely. We offer a full datasheet comparing price, grade, and delivery.
E450BR offers higher yield and better impact resistance in many use cases.
Yes. We export to 25+ countries with sea-worthy packaging and compliance documents.
