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.

Common Industrial Use Cases

  • Bridges & Flyovers – Originally designed with S355J2 or A572-50
  • Automotive Trailers – Now switching to SAILMA 350/450
  • Hydraulic Cranes, Boom Arms – Moving from S690QL to SAILMA 550 / Hiten 550
  • High Rise Buildings, Beams, Columns – Matched with IS 2062 E450BR
  • Defense, Offshore, Heavy Fabrication – S690QL or equivalent Q+T steels from Indian mills

Mechanical Properties: Side-by-Side Comparison

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

Chemical Composition Overview (Typical Values)

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.

Indian Alternatives with Matching Standards

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.

 

Why Match Indian Grades Instead of Importing?

  1. Faster procurement from local steel mills
  2. Lower costs compared to EU/US imports
  3. BIS / EN-compliant test reports
  4. Logistics, freight, and cut-size advantages
  5. Same strength – better service support

Also ideal for government and public sector tenders requiring “Make in India” compliance.

Buyer Tips – Choosing the Right Equivalent

  • For General Fabrication: Use IS 2062 E350
  • For Load-Bearing Frames: Choose SAILMA 410/450
  • For High Impact Zones: Use E450BR or Hiten 550
  • For Welded Bridge Girders: SAILMA or HIND E410BR

Not sure? Share your original material spec and project use — we’ll match the ideal Indian grade with MTC support.
