Steel type S235 properties of steel
What is S235?
S235 is a summary of a number of properties that the material has. For example, the ‘S’ indicates ‘Structural’. Loosely, that means structural steel or steel. The ‘235’ indicates the yield strength in MPa (megapascals in N/mm²) at a thickness of 16 mm. This is an important value because as soon as a tensile force of 235 megapascals is reached, the steel will start to flow, resulting in permanent plastic deformation. Steel designations often have a number of suffixes that say something about the material and the production process, for example: ‘J2’ ‘K2’ ‘C’ ‘Z’ ‘W’ ‘JR’ ‘JO’ ‘N’ of ‘NL’ ‘Q’ of ‘QL’ en ‘M’ of ‘ML’.

The chemical composition of steel is also extremely important. It is a fundamental factor that strongly determines the mechanical properties of the steel. Because of this fundamental role, the production of steel is strictly monitored in accordance with the applicable European standards. The chemical composition depends on the application. For example, S235J2 is a type of steel with increased hardness (J2). The chemical composition of the steel is then slightly different than the standard S235. The engineer/builder must always take into account the exact chemical composition and the application of the material.
