Mild Steel (MS) Plates are widely used structural steel plates known for their good strength, weldability, and cost-effectiveness. At Sharoff Steel Suppliers, we supply MS plates across Indian and European standards to support general fabrication, structural, industrial, and EPC requirements. While mild steel plates do not offer corrosion resistance like weathering steels, they remain the most commonly specified material for painted and indoor structural applications.
Mild steel plates are low-carbon structural steels designed primarily for:
• Load-bearing capacity
• Ease of fabrication
• Weldability
• Cost efficiency
They are typically protected using paint, galvanizing, or other coatings when used outdoors.
Indian Standard – IS 2062
• E250 – General structural use
• E350 – Higher strength structural applications
European Standards
• S235JR – Light structural and fabrication work
• S355J2 – Higher strength structural and industrial use
Grade selection depends on design load, thickness, and governing standard.
| Element | Min Yield Strength |
|---|---|
| IS 2062 E250 | 250 MPa |
| IS 2062 E350 | 350 MPa |
| S235JR | 235 MPa |
| S355J2 | 355 MPa |
Sharoff Steel Suppliers supplies MS plates in:
• Plates (various thicknesses)upto 200mm
• Cut-to-size material
• Fabrication-ready blanks
Availability varies by thickness and mill.
Structural & Fabrication
• Building structures
• Base plates and brackets
• Frames and supports
Industrial
• Equipment foundations
• General fabrication
EPC & Projects
• Painted outdoor structures
• Temporary or non-corrosive environments
• E250 / S235JR → Light to moderate load structures
• E350 / S355J2 → Higher load-bearing requirements
• Outdoor exposure → Painting or coating recommended
• Corrosive environments → Consider WR / CRS grades instead
Correct grade selection avoids overdesign or premature corrosion.
• Supply of both IS and EN grades
• Reliable sourcing and traceability
• Cut-to-size support
• Honest guidance when WR/CRS grades are more suitable
We help customers choose MS plates where they make sense, not where special grades are required
Are mild steel plates corrosion resistant?
No. Mild steel plates require painting or coating for outdoor use.
What is the difference between E350 and S355J2?
Both offer similar strength levels, but follow different standards (IS vs EN) and documentation requirements.
When should I avoid using mild steel plates?
In highly corrosive or maintenance-restricted environments, weathering or corrosion-resistant steels are preferred.
Mild Steel Plates remain the backbone of structural fabrication due to their availability, strength, and economy. When selected appropriately and protected correctly, they serve reliably across a wide range of applications.
At Sharoff Steel Suppliers, MS plates are supplied with standards clarity and application-based guidance, ensuring the right material is used for the right job.
