JIS SS400 equivalent ASTM A36

JIS SS400 equivalent ASTM is A36 steel. They have much in common and little difference. JIS SS400 equivalent ASTM A36 is the material of American Standard ASTM A36/A36M, JIS SS400 is under Japanese standard JIS G3101.

JIS SS400 and JIS SS400 equivalent ASTM A36 chemical composition %:

Grade C (t≤16mm) Si Mn P S Cu
JIS SS400 - - - 0.050 max 0.050 max -
ASTM A36 0.26 max 0.40 max - 0.040 max 0.050 max 0.20 min

The content of Mn in JIS SS400 equivalent ASTM A36 steel varies with the thickness of the sheet metal (or the diameter of the round steel). No Mn is found in the samples below 20mm. But JIS SS400 only asks for S and P to be less than 0.050.

JIS SS400 and JIS SS400 equivalent ASTM A36 mechanical properties:

Grade Yield strength ReH/(N/mm2)
(t≤16mm) min
Tensile strength Rm/(N/mm2)
(3mm≤t≤16mm)
Elongation A/%
(3mm≤t≤40mm) min
JIS SS400 245 400-500 21
ASTM A36 250 400-550 23

The tensile strength of JIS SS400 equivalent ASTM A36 steel is 58~80 Ksi (about 400~550MPa) and the A36 yield strength is 36 Ksi (about 250MPa). ASTM A36 steel is named after the yield strength of the material.

The tensile strength of JIS SS400 is 400-510 MPa and JIS SS400 yield strength is 245 Mpa. JIS SS400 is named after the tensile strength of the material.

From the analysis of JIS SS400 and JIS SS400 equivalent ASTM A36 mechanical properties, ASTM A36 is equivalent to JIS SS400.

SS400 and A36 are low carbon steel materials, other equivalent steel grades include EN S235JR, DIN ST37-2, JIS SS400, GB Q235B, etc.
