E 255

It is one of the most commonly used carbon construction steels, with low hardness values and high toughness values, making it an extremely malleable steel suitable for cold deformation processes such as bending. It has a carbon content that makes it more resistant than E235 steel.

Its excellent weldability, due to its low carbon content, allows the production of both seamless and welded tubes.

The possibility of obtaining welded tubes offers advantages such as better geometry and a better surface appearance, although welding may pose a critical issue for some specific applications.

The versatility of this steel is manifested through its ability to be supplied in different states: annealed, normalized, raw, and stretched.

This steel is one of the most widely used steels, also due to its cost-effectiveness.

It is suitable for mechanical components that do not require high hardness, or that need to be cold-formed or welded. It can also be used for applications involving carburizing and quenching
