EN 10025-2 E295 Steel Plate | E295 Structural Steel
What is EN 10025-2 E295 Steel Plate?
As a professional steel plate supplier and China Mill-Direct Exporter, SHH STEEL is pleased to present EN 10025-2 E295 Steel Plate (Material Number: 1.0050).
E295 is a non-alloy structural steel under the European standard EN 10025-2. It provides a minimum yield strength of 295 MPa (for thickness ≤ 16 mm) and is positioned between the lower-strength S185 and the higher S355 series in terms of mechanical properties. This grade is suitable for general structural applications where moderate strength is required. SHH STEEL sources this material directly from leading Chinese steel mills, ensuring competitive mill-direct pricing, stable quality and reliable delivery.
We supply E295 steel plate in thicknesses from 6 mm to 150 mm (thicker plates available on request), 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).

Note: Impact testing is not mandatory for E295 under EN 10025-2.
Delivery Conditions
SHH STEEL, as a China Mill-Direct Supplier, supplies EN 10025-2 E295 steel plate mainly in the following conditions:
- +AR (As-rolled) – most common
- +N (Normalized) – available on request
Additional options:
- Shot blasting and shop primer
- Ultrasonic testing (EN 10160)
- Third-party inspection (SGS, BV, TUV, etc.)
Tolerances
Dimensional tolerances for E295 steel plate follow EN 10029 (for plates) or EN 10051 (for strips).
- Thickness, width and length tolerances according to the ordered class.
- Flatness according to EN 10029.
- Edge conditions: Mill edge or cut edge (flame / plasma).
Tighter tolerances can be provided upon request.
Weldability
E295 has good weldability. It can be welded by conventional methods (SMAW, SAW, GMAW, FCAW, etc.). Preheating is generally not required for thinner plates. Low-hydrogen consumables are recommended for thicker sections or critical applications.
