About
S355JR is a carbon steel plate available As Rolled (AR) or Normalised (N)
This steel is typically used for a structural application like bridge components and components for offshore structures.
It is used to manufacture mining, earthmoving, load handling, wind towers and power plant equipment components.
S355JR plate comes As Rolled or Normalised, containing 0.24% and 0.2% carbon, respectively. We supply materials of 6mm and thicker with dimensional tolerances according to EN 10029 standards. Tolerances will keep to “Class A: standards when not specified otherwise. Materials produced in the hot strip mill conform to EN 10051 tolerance specifications. It is weldable and machinable.
Special Steels sells S355JR plate. We offer profile cutting to specific tolerances and with finely finished edges.
We also offer machine preparation and deliveries.

About
Bennox plate is an abrasion and wear resistant carbon steel product sometimes referred to as “wear plate”.
This steel is used for hard wearing applications making scraper blades which are best mounted by drilling and bolting and especially in applications where more sophisticated steel products are not justified.
Bennox plate is shearable in thicknesses up to 25mm and one can punch through plates up to 12mm’s thick provided that the tools are correctly set and is kept sharp.
It is abrasion resistant but has poor weldability because of a higher carbon content.
Special Steels sells Bennox plate. We offer profile cutting to specific tolerances and with finely finished edges.
We also offer machine preparation and deliveries.
Equivalents
Wearplate 200
Characteristics
- Carbon steel
- Abrasion resistant steel plate
- Machinability good
- Weldability poor (due to high carbon content)
- Sheering thicknesses up to 25mm provided sufficient power is available
- Cutting edge must be sharp and clearances set correctly. Up to 12mm can be punched provided tool is sharp and correctly set
Typical Applications
- Used for hard wearing applications which are not sufficiently server to warrant more sophisticated steels
- Scraper blades – preferably fitted by drilling and bolting
