DIN 17100 St60-2 Steel Plate | St60-2 Structural Steel
What is DIN 17100 St60-2 Steel Plate?
As a professional steel plate supplier and China Mill-Direct Exporter, SHH STEEL is pleased to present DIN 17100 St60-2 Steel Plate.
St60-2 is a high-strength non-alloy structural steel under the former German standard DIN 17100. It provides a minimum yield strength of 335 MPa (for thickness ≤ 16 mm) and a tensile strength range of 590–770 MPa. This grade offers higher strength than St50-2 and St52-3 and is used in applications requiring elevated load-bearing capacity. Although DIN 17100 has been largely replaced by EN 10025, St60-2 is still requested in certain markets.
This grade belongs to the DIN 17100 Steel Plate series. SHH STEEL supplies St60-2 as Mill Direct Supply, sourcing directly from major Chinese steel mills. This ensures competitive mill pricing, consistent quality, shorter lead times and full traceability. We offer thicknesses from 6 mm to 100 mm (subject to mill capability), widths up to 3000–4000 mm and lengths up to 12000–18000 mm. Custom cutting, shot blasting and priming services are available. All plates are delivered with full Mill Test Certificates (EN 10204 3.1 or equivalent).

Tighter tolerances can be provided upon request.
Weldability
St60-2 is a higher-strength structural steel. Successful welding requires proper procedures, including preheating for thicker plates and the use of low-hydrogen consumables.
Recommended welding consumables:
| Welding Process | Recommended Consumables |
|---|---|
| SMAW (Stick) | E8018, E9018 |
| GMAW (MIG/MAG) | ER80S-D2, ER90S-D2 |
| FCAW | E81T1, E91T1 |
| SAW | EH14 / matching high-strength flux |
Preheating is generally recommended for thicker sections. Interpass temperature control is important.
