Steel Standart

09G2S equivalent grades: ASTM, EN, JIS, GB, DIN

09G2S is low-alloy structural steel of increased strength (GOST / CIS) specified in GOST 19281. Substitutes are collected here from 3 standard systems; the grading column says whether a certificate covers the swap or an engineer has to. The full 09G2S data sheet carries the composition and mechanical tables.

Last updated

A572 Grade 50, S355J2, S355JR and 2 more sit one step away, differ in a strength minimum or in the quality class rather than in the metallurgy. Functionally interchangeable, S355MC serves a different route to the same duty — check the design, not the analysis. The table holds 1 in ASTM / ASME, 4 in EN (European), 1 in GB/T (China).

09G2S equivalents by system
GradeSystemMatchWhy / differences
A572 Grade 50ASTM / ASMENearASTM A572 Grade 50 is 345 MPa yield and 450 MPa minimum tensile — the same strength class, achieved with vanadium or niobium microalloying rather than manganese and silicon, and with no low-temperature requirement as standard.
S355J2EN (European)NearThe usual counterpart: 345 MPa yield against 355 at the first thickness step and a 490 MPa tensile floor against 470. 09G2S is tested colder than S355J2 but reports KCU on a U-notch rather than KV on a V-notch.
S355JREN (European)NearMatches on strength; S355JR is tested only at +20 °C, so 09G2S exceeds it comfortably on toughness.
P355NHEN (European)NearGOST 5520 09G2S vessel plate: yield 305–345 MPa, Rm 460–490 MPa.
Q355GB/T (China)NearThe CIS grade of the same tier: 345 MPa yield, 490 MPa tensile floor, tested far colder but reporting KCU on a U-notch rather than KV on a V-notch.
S355MCEN (European)FunctionalSimilar yield, different route: S355MC is thermomechanically rolled for forming, with much tighter carbon and a bend requirement. Substitute only where the design is about strength rather than about forming.

Identical, near and functional are defined once on the grade index; the reason column below says which limit differs in each case.

09G2S in ASTM / ASME

  • A572 Grade 50 — Near ASTM A572 Grade 50 is 345 MPa yield and 450 MPa minimum tensile — the same strength class, achieved with vanadium or niobium microalloying rather than manganese and silicon, and with no low-temperature requirement as standard.

09G2S in EN (European)

  • S355J2 — Near The usual counterpart: 345 MPa yield against 355 at the first thickness step and a 490 MPa tensile floor against 470. 09G2S is tested colder than S355J2 but reports KCU on a U-notch rather than KV on a V-notch.
  • S355JR — Near Matches on strength; S355JR is tested only at +20 °C, so 09G2S exceeds it comfortably on toughness.
  • P355NH — Near GOST 5520 09G2S vessel plate: yield 305–345 MPa, Rm 460–490 MPa.
  • S355MC — Functional Similar yield, different route: S355MC is thermomechanically rolled for forming, with much tighter carbon and a bend requirement. Substitute only where the design is about strength rather than about forming.

09G2S in GB/T (China)

  • Q355 — Near The CIS grade of the same tier: 345 MPa yield, 490 MPa tensile floor, tested far colder but reporting KCU on a U-notch rather than KV on a V-notch.

Superseded names for 09G2S

  • 09G2S per GOST 19282-73 — GOST 19282-73 (withdrawn): Thick plate was specified separately until the 1989 revision merged 19282 into 19281.
  • 09G2 — GOST 19281: The same steel without the silicon addition: lower strength class, still in the standard. 09G2S is the silicon-bearing, higher-strength member of the family.
  • 10KhSND / 15KhSND — GOST 19281: The weathering members of the same standard — chromium, silicon, nickel and copper — used where atmospheric corrosion resistance is wanted alongside the strength.
