Q355 vs S355

China GB/T 1591-2018 · Steel

Q355

China's S355 counterpart, which replaced Q345 in GB/T 1591-2018. Q355B/C/D test 34 J at +20/0/−20 °C.

Europe EN 10025-2:2019 · Steel

S355

Europe's workhorse structural steel: 355 MPa minimum yield up to 16 mm, 470–630 MPa tensile from 3 to 100 mm.

Close matchChina's direct counterpart since GB/T 1591-2018 renamed Q345 to Q355. Q355B/C/D test 34 J where S355JR/J0/J2 test 27 J; thickness bands and chemistry differ.
