EN 10025-2 S185 Steel Plate | S185 Structural Steel
What is EN 10025-2 S185 Steel Plate?
As a professional steel plate supplier and China Mill-Direct Exporter, SHH STEEL is pleased to present EN 10025-2 S185 Steel Plate (Material Number: 1.0035).
S185 is the lowest strength grade of non-alloy structural steel under the European standard EN 10025-2. It provides a minimum yield strength of 185 MPa (for thickness ≤ 16 mm) and is characterized by excellent weldability, formability and cost-effectiveness. This grade is typically used for light structural applications, general fabrication and components where high strength is not required. SHH STEEL sources this material directly from leading Chinese steel mills, ensuring competitive mill-direct pricing, stable quality and reliable delivery.
We supply S185 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).

| > 100 ≤ 150 | 165 MPa | 280 – 500 MPa | 15% |
Density: 7.85 g/cm³
Note: Impact testing is not mandatory for S185 under EN 10025-2.
Delivery Conditions
SHH STEEL, as a China Mill-Direct Supplier, supplies EN 10025-2 S185 steel plate mainly in the as-rolled (+AR) condition.
Additional options:
- Shot blasting and shop primer
- Ultrasonic testing (EN 10160)
- Third-party inspection (SGS, BV, TUV, etc.)
Tolerances
Dimensional tolerances for S185 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
S185 has excellent weldability due to its low strength and low carbon content. It can be welded by all conventional methods (SMAW, SAW, GMAW, FCAW, etc.) without preheating in most cases. It is one of the easiest structural steels to weld and form.
