Description
DIN 17100 Carbon Steel Plate
DIN 17100 is a German standard that specified the technical delivery conditions for general structural steel. It has formerly been used extensively, particularly in the European steel industry, for non-alloy structural steels used in building and mechanical applications. Note that DIN 17100 has been replaced by EN 10025, but it is still referenced in some markets and older projects.
Key Features
- Applicable Grades: St33, St37-2, St44-2, St52-3, etc.
- Versatile Usage: Ideal for bridges, buildings, machines, and vehicles.
- Excellent Weldability: Especially suitable for welding due to its chemical composition.
- Good Formability: Easily machinable and formable for various fabrication processes.
- Standardized Mechanical Properties: Ensures predictable performance in structural applications.
