This interactive steel grade comparison chart covers 100+ grades across structural carbon steels (S235, S275, S355, S460, S690), engineering and medium-carbon steels (EN3, EN8, EN9, EN16, EN19, EN24, EN30B, EN36, EN43, C45, EN1A), weathering and Corten steels (S355J2W, A242, A588), wear-resistant plate (Hardox 400/450/500, AR400/500, Hadfield manganese), the full range of stainless steels — austenitic (304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321, 347, 310S, 904L), ferritic (409, 430, 441), martensitic (410, 420, 440C), duplex (2205, 2507, Lean Duplex 2101), and precipitation hardening (17-4PH), plus tool steels — cold work (O1, O2, D2, D3, D6, A2), shock-resisting (S1, S7), hot work (H13, H11), plastic mould (P20, 1.2767), and high speed steels (M2, M42, T1), spring steels (EN42, EN45, EN47), cast irons — spheroidal graphite / ductile (EN-GJS-400-15, EN-GJS-500-7, EN-GJS-600-3) and grey iron (EN-GJL-250), and non-ferrous metals including aluminium alloys (6082-T6, 5083, 2014-T6, 6061-T6), brass (CZ121, CZ108), phosphor bronze (PB1), and copper (C101, C106).
Every grade includes BS, EN, and American (AISI/ASTM/UNS) equivalent designations, full chemical composition, mechanical properties (yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, hardness, impact energy), weldability ratings with recommended welding filler metals for MIG, TIG and MMA, machinability ratings, formability ratings, heat treatment temperatures, corrosion resistance, available forms and sizes, and practical applications with pros and cons.
