Description
1.0038 is a widely used structural steel with a minimum yield strength of 235 MPa, offering good mechanical properties and formability. It is often used in construction, steel frameworks, and general fabrication. The steel is easily weldable and machinable, making it suitable for various engineering applications. While it shares many characteristics with S235JR, it is sometimes supplied in an untested state, requiring additional certification for certain structural applications. Its low carbon content ensures good ductility and impact resistance, though surface protection is recommended for outdoor use.
