What is JIS G3101 SS400 Steel Plate?

JIS G3101 SS400 is a Japanese Industrial Standard for hot-rolled mild steel plates, defined under JIS G3101 specification.

SS400 stands for:

  • SS” = Structural Steel
  • 400” = Minimum tensile strength (400 MPa range)

Key Features:

  • Mild steel with good ductility and strength
  • Suitable for general structural and fabrication work
  • Cost-effective compared to higher-grade structural steels

Applications Across Industries

  • Structural fabrication – Beams, columns, trusses
  • Construction projects – Frames, support systems
  • OEM manufacturing – Machinery base frames, platforms
  • General engineering fabrication – Brackets, stiffeners
  • Shipbuilding – Non-critical structural sections
  • Bridges and Industrial buildings – Non-pressure parts
  • Road & Railway Infrastructure – Supports, barriers

We supply SS400 plates to fabricators, OEMs, exporters, and contractors across India, UAE, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia.

Mechanical Properties & Grade Performance

Buyer Guide: When to Choose S275 vs S355

Choose SS400 plates if you need:

  • Low-cost, general-purpose structural steel
  • Good weldability and machinability
  • Non-critical structural fabrication

Choose SS400 over ASTM A36 if:

  • Project specifies JIS Standard
  • Export or OEM clients demand Japanese grade references
  • Working on Asia-based engineering projects

For higher strength, we suggest EN S275JR, IS 2062 Grade B/C, or ASTM A36 alternatives.
