03 / Standard Chemical Composition
EN 10025-2:2019 / S235JR (hot rolled sections). Values are mass percentages (%). Maximum limits are shown by ≤, minimum limits by ≥; ranges are specification limits and Fe is the balance. These are not measured results for a current delivery heat.
| Element / Indicator | Requirement or Range |
|---|---|
| C | ≤0.17 (t≤40 mm); ≤0.20 (t>40 mm; above 100 mm by agreement) |
| Mn | ≤1.40 |
| P | ≤0.040 |
| S | ≤0.040 |
| N | ≤0.012 |
| Cu | ≤0.55 |
| Si | Not specified in the standard table |
| CEV | ≤0.35（t≤40 mm）；≤0.38（40<t≤140 mm） |
| Fe | Balance |
ArcelorMittal EN 10025-2:2019 section data, mass %. Confirm nitrogen-binding exceptions, galvanizing suitability and thick-section conditions against the ordered standard.
04 / Mechanical Properties & Application Limits
| Thickness / Material Condition | Yield Strength Re / Rp0.2 (MPa) | Tensile Strength Rm (MPa) | Elongation After Fracture A (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3≤t≤16 mm | ≥235 | 360–510 | ≥26 |
| 16<t≤40 mm | ≥225 | 360–510 | ≥26 |
| 40<t≤63 mm | ≥215 | 360–510 | ≥25 |
| 63<t≤100 mm | ≥215 | 360–510 | ≥24 |
Strength in MPa, proportional elongation A in %. JR impact class is 27 J / +20°C; verify actual testing, specimen size and direction against the standard and purchase requirements. Actual delivery weight may differ from theoretical mass within applicable tolerances.
05 / Inspection, Processing & Quality Checks
- Measure section geometry and flange form. UPN tf is flange thickness at a defined position, not uniform thickness across the taper.
- Check straightness, flange spread, twist and ends. Accept fabricated holes against drawings.
- Structural design must address bolting, eccentric loading and open-section torsion; kg/m alone does not determine suitability.
- Maintain heat/batch traceability. Do not apply plate chemistry / elongation tables directly to sections.
06 / Export Packaging for This Product
| Stage | Recommended Arrangement | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Section-Separated Bundles | Identify section designation, steel grade, length and heat number separately. | Keep different grades and delivery conditions in separate bundles. |
| Supports & Corner Protection | Protect flanges, leg edges and machined faces; support long sections at multiple points. | Prevent handling twist, local damage and permanent bending. |
| Loading Checks | Plan loading around cut length, bundle weight, forklift points and container-door clearance. | Assess container type and handling arrangements in advance for long or heavy loads. |
Before shipment, cross-check product, grade, heat number, size, piece count, net weight and gross weight against the packing list. Match labels to inspection documents. For solid-wood pallets, dunnage or crates, check destination-country rules; wood subject to ISPM 15 must be treated and marked by an approved provider. Load dry cargo and arrange supports, blocking and securing according to weight and centre of gravity.
07 / How Qida Supports Your Procurement
| Procurement Stage | Qida Coordination | Information for the Buyer |
|---|---|---|
| Requirement Review | Review application, standards, material condition, drawings and acceptance items. | A checkable specification list helps reduce language and unit-conversion errors. |
| Order Confirmation | Confirm material, processing, inspection, packaging, delivery milestones and cost responsibilities item by item. | A clear written quotation and mutually agreed purchase requirements. |
| Delivery Coordination | Coordinate production / sourcing progress, labels, packing lists and shipping documents. | Check dimensions, quantities and heat/batch correspondence at agreed milestones. |
| After-Sales Follow-Up | Review issues using order number, heat number, arrival photographs and test records. | A defined issue description and documented resolution communications. |
Qida focuses on clear specifications, material requirement checks and delivery coordination. Include cutting, cut-to-length, surface treatment, third-party inspection and certificate requirements in your enquiry so that the achievable scope can be agreed before order placement.
