The equivalent grades for S355J2W steel include: ASTM A588 Grade B, GB/T Q355NH or Q355GNH, JIS G3125 SPA-H, and Corten B.
An In-Depth Analysis of the Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance of S355J0W
S355J0W is a low-alloy, high-strength, weather-resistant structural steel in accordance with the EN 10025-5 standard. Its core weather resistance stems from the synergistic action of alloying elements such as Cu, Cr, Ni and other alloying elements, which work synergistically to form a dense, stable protective passivation layer (patina) on the surface in atmospheric environments. This effectively prevents further corrosion penetration, with atmospheric corrosion resistance 2–8 times that of ordinary carbon steel, allowing for long-term use in exposed conditions. The following provides an in-depth analysis covering several aspects, including chemical composition, mechanism of weather resistance, quantification of weather resistance, weathering performance in different environments, advantages of weathering resistance and limitations of use and application scenarios.
