Gangsteel handles EN 10025-2 S275J2G3 steel plate enquiries for projects whose drawings still use the legacy S275J2G3 designation. This name comes from withdrawn EN 10025:1990-era specifications, not the current grade list in EN 10025-2:2019. We help clarify the contractual edition and delivery condition before arranging plate supply within the EN 10025-2 steel plate family.
For a new order, distinguish the historical S275J2G3 requirement from current S275J2 ordered in the normalized or normalized-rolled condition, written S275J2+N. Their historical relationship does not establish drop-in equivalence. The chemistry and strength tables below are explicitly the 2019 requirements for underlying S275J2, not reconstructed numerical limits for the withdrawn G3 specification.
Grade Designation
- EN 10025-2:2019 — technical delivery conditions for non-alloy structural steels.
- S275 — structural steel in the 275 MPa nominal minimum yield class at thickness ≤16 mm.
- J2 — impact-quality designation; see the thickness-banded Charpy table below.
- Steel number 1.0145 — current 2019 numerical designation of S275J2, not an asserted historical steel number for S275J2G3.
S275J2G3 is a legacy EN 10025:1990 designation associated with normalized delivery for flat products. G3 is not a current EN 10025-2:2019 grade suffix. EN10025-2 S275J2G3 is familiar commercial wording, but the order must resolve the applicable edition, grade and delivery condition. Current S275J2+N is a useful comparison, not an unconditional identical replacement.
Key Advantages of EN 10025-2 S275J2G3 Steel Plate
- Defined 275 MPa nominal yield class with thickness-dependent acceptance requirements.
- J2 impact quality explicitly separated from the tensile-strength class.
- Delivery-condition review keeps the rolling route aligned with the purchase specification.
- Heat analysis and mechanical acceptance values linked to a stated standard edition.
- Gangsteel coordinates plate enquiries, dimensional requirements and export documentation against the agreed order.
- Processing requirements, including cutting allowances and drawing details, can be reviewed at enquiry without assuming a universal fabrication procedure.
Chemical Composition (Heat Analysis, Maximum %)
EN 10025-2:2019, Table 1: heat-analysis limits for current S275J2 flat products. These values are provided for current-standard comparison; they are not historical S275J2G3 chemistry.
| Element / nominal thickness | Maximum, mass % |
|---|---|
| C, ≤150 mm | 0.18 |
| C, >150–400 mm | 0.20 |
| Si | — |
| Mn | 1.50 |
| P | 0.025 |
| S | 0.025 |
| N | — |
| Cu | 0.55 |
| Ni | 0.42 |
| Cr | 0.29 |
| Mo | 0.11 |
A dash means no numerical limit is listed for that entry in Table 1; it does not mean zero content or exemption from all chemical requirements. Ni, Cr and Mo limits follow Table 1 footnote l. These are heat-analysis limits, not typical analyses; product-analysis tolerances are separate. Long-product phosphorus and sulfur allowances are not used for these flat-product tables.
S275J2 is specified as fully killed steel (FF). A dash in the nitrogen column is not a claim of an unlimited nitrogen specification.
Mechanical Properties
Current-standard basis: EN 10025-2:2019, Table 6, S275J2, flat products of width ≥600 mm. For S275J2G3, these are comparison values for the underlying current quality, not a declaration of historical G3 compliance.
| Nominal plate thickness | Yield ReH min, MPa | Tensile Rm, MPa | Transverse A min, % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3–16 mm | 275 | 410–560 | 21 |
| >16–40 mm | 265 | 410–560 | 21 |
| >40–63 mm | 255 | 410–560 | 20 |
| >63–80 mm | 245 | 410–560 | 19 |
| >80–100 mm | 235 | 410–560 | 19 |
| >100–150 mm | 225 | 400–540 | 19 |
| >150–200 mm | 215 | 380–540 | 18 |
| >200–250 mm | 205 | 380–540 | 18 |
| >250–400 mm | 195 | 380–540 | 18 |
This table deliberately covers plate thickness ≥3 mm. Elongation uses the proportional gauge length L₀ = 5.65√S₀. For plate, strip and wide flats of width ≥600 mm, Table 6 specifies the transverse tensile-test direction; narrower products use the applicable longitudinal requirements, including different elongation values. Confirm the ordered thickness, orientation, delivery condition and all acceptance values on the mill certificate / inspection document.
| Nominal flat-product thickness | Charpy test temperature, °C | Longitudinal KV2 minimum average, J |
|---|---|---|
| ≤150 mm | −20 | 27 |
| >150–250 mm | −20 | 27 |
| >250–400 mm | −20 | 27 |
Impact values follow EN 10025-2:2019, Table 8, for full-size longitudinal Charpy V-notch specimens. Unless otherwise agreed at order, the quality is verified at the stated test temperature. Acceptance uses the average of three tests with the standard’s individual-result and retest rules. Subsize energies are reduced in proportion to specimen cross-sectional area; below 6 mm nominal thickness no impact tests are required for flat products under Clause 9.2.3.3. A Charpy test temperature is not an approved minimum service temperature.
Delivery Condition and Fabrication
Under EN 10025-2:2019, Clause 6.3, +AR means as rolled, +N means normalized or normalized rolled, and +M means thermomechanically rolled. For quarto plate the permitted delivery choices are +AR or +N; +M is an option for long products and hot-rolled strip, not a general quarto-plate option. Unless otherwise agreed, selection is at the manufacturer’s discretion within those limits. State the required condition on the order and inspection document.
The historical G3 suffix in S275J2G3 is associated with normalized flat-product delivery. Its relationship to modern S275J2+N must be reviewed against both editions, including product scope, chemistry, sampling and inspection. Do not silently replace an older drawing designation or certify the legacy edition from the 2019 tables alone.
Welding, forming, flame straightening and subsequent heat treatment require a procedure suited to the actual heat chemistry, thickness, restraint and project code. Gangsteel does not infer a universal preheat, welding procedure or heat-treatment cycle from the designation alone.
Carbon Equivalent
| Nominal thickness | Maximum heat-analysis CEV, % |
|---|---|
| ≤30 mm | 0.40 |
| >30–40 mm | 0.40 |
| >40–150 mm | 0.42 |
| >150–250 mm | 0.44 |
| >250–400 mm | 0.44 |
Base limits are from EN 10025-2:2019, Table 5, for current S275J2 flat products. CEV = C + Mn/6 + (Cr + Mo + V)/5 + (Ni + Cu)/15. The agreed copper-alloyed option in Clause 7.2.4 increases the tabulated maximum by 0.02. For controlled-silicon S275/S355 orders under Clause 7.2.5, the stated adjustments are +0.02 at Si ≤0.04% or +0.01 at Si ≤0.25%, as applicable; these two silicon adjustments are alternatives, not cumulative. Confirm the applicable order options and actual heat CEV before fabrication; these limits are not a welding procedure.
Impact Quality Comparison
| Current quality | Test temperature, °C | Longitudinal KV2 at ≤150 mm, J | Longitudinal KV2 at >150–400 mm, J |
|---|---|---|---|
| S275JR | +20 | 27 | 27 |
| S275J0 | 0 | 27 | 27 |
| S275J2 | −20 | 27 | 27 |
Comparison basis: EN 10025-2:2019, Tables 6 and 8. Qualities within a strength class share the tensile table; this comparison does not override differences in chemistry, testing, delivery condition or order options. JR testing remains order-dependent. The quality comparison is not a stock list or substitution approval.
Available Dimensions
- Current S275J2 flat-product scope in EN 10025-2:2019 extends to nominal thickness 400 mm; the displayed tensile table covers 3–400 mm. This is standard coverage, not a mill stock range. Legacy G3 scope must be checked separately against the specified historical edition.
- Actual thickness × width × length and dimensional tolerances must be agreed for the selected mill and project.
- Provide quantity, delivery condition, inspection requirements and processing allowance. Exact availability is confirmed against the enquiry, not assumed from the grade name.
Main Applications
- Load-bearing structural plates, support members and machinery frames.
- Welded building and civil-engineering components selected to the specified strength class.
- Project-specific assemblies whose design specifies the stated impact quality and delivery condition.
Application suitability depends on design temperature, stress state, thickness, fatigue, fabrication and construction-code requirements. A legacy drawing must be clarified before material substitution. This structural-steel designation is not automatic approval for pressure-vessel service.
Equivalent Grades of EN 10025-2 S275J2G3
No direct cross-standard equivalent is asserted for EN 10025-2 S275J2G3. A matching strength number does not establish equivalence; any substitute requires designer and purchaser approval after comparing the contractual edition, product form, chemistry, thickness-dependent strength, toughness, delivery condition and inspection requirements.
For a different current impact quality in the same strength class, see EN 10025-2 S275J0. S275J0 and S275J2 share the 2019 tensile requirements, but their impact qualities and phosphorus/sulfur limits differ. A historical G3 designation is not an unconditional modern +N substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is EN 10025-2 S275J2G3 steel plate?
S275J2G3 is a legacy EN 10025:1990-era designation associated with normalized flat-product delivery. It is not a current EN 10025-2:2019 grade name. Clarify the drawing edition before placing a new order.
Is EN 10025-2 S275J2G3 identical to S275J2+N?
No unconditional identity is asserted. Current S275J2+N is the normalized or normalized-rolled delivery option of S275J2; historical G3 compliance must be assessed under the specified older edition. Obtain approval before changing the designation.
What impact test applies to EN 10025-2 S275J2G3?
The underlying current S275J2 quality uses longitudinal Charpy testing at −20 °C: 27 J minimum average in the displayed flat-product thickness bands. These full-size requirements are subject to specimen-size and inspection rules, not a minimum service-temperature rating. They are 2019 comparison values, not a historical G3 certification.
Which delivery condition should be ordered for EN 10025-2 S275J2G3?
Resolve the contractual edition and delivery condition explicitly. Current quarto plates permit +AR or +N; +M is provided for long products and hot-rolled strip, not as a general quarto-plate option.
Can another grade replace EN 10025-2 S275J2G3?
Only with designer and purchaser approval. Compare the complete specification, product form, edition, chemistry, thickness-dependent strength, toughness, delivery condition and inspection. Similar names or nominal strength do not authorize substitution.
Can EN 10025-2 S275J2G3 be welded and processed?
Fabrication must be assessed against the actual material certificate, thickness, joint design and applicable code. Agree drawing details and processing allowances at enquiry; no universal welding, preheat or heat-treatment procedure is implied.
What should an enquiry for EN 10025-2 S275J2G3 include?
Provide the standard edition, full designation, product form, delivery condition, thickness × width × length, quantity, impact requirements, inspection documentation and processing drawings. Gangsteel will review the technical basis and confirm exact dimensions, availability, price and delivery against the enquiry.
