Steel grades

St37 = steel = S235 = material number 1.0037

The classic. Being the most commonly used steel, if someone asks for steel without further requirements, we suggest st37 = S235 grade.

Characteristics:

• Low carbon content
• Easy to weld
• Can be formed using both cold and hot processes
• High elasticity

St52 = S355 = 1.0570

This steel grade has a higher yield point and maximum tensile strength than the traditional St37 steel grade.

Galva = pre-galvanized sheet

Characteristics: a typical steel plate pre-treated with a zinc coating. The advantage of this plate is that it no longer requires post-treatment against corrosion.

Zincor

Characteristics: a typical steel plate treated with a zinc coating; for some applications this facilitates painting afterwards.
