IS 2062 E250 BR / E250 C (Mild Steel for General Structural and Engineering Use) IS 2062 E250 BR and E250 C are mild steel grades classified under the IS 2062 standard, formulated for use in general structural and engineering applications. With a minimum yield strength of 250 MPa, these grades offer reliable performance in moderate load-bearing conditions. The BR variant is tested for impact resistance at low temperatures, while the C variant features reduced carbon levels for improved weldability and structural consistency. Known for their ease of fabrication, cost-efficiency, and versatile use, these materials are widely employed across construction, infrastructure, and mechanical fabrication sectors. Key Features: Yield strength of 250 MPa, ideal for standard construction and fabrication work BR grade guarantees tested impact performance at 0°C, enhancing safety in colder environments C grade ensures better weld quality due to lower carbon content Excellent formability and machinability for a wide range of structural needs Typical Mechanical Properties: Property E250 BR / E250 C Yield Strength ≥ 250 MPa Tensile Strength 410–540 MPa Elongation ≥ 23% Impact Resistance BR: ≥ 27 Joules at 0°C Weldability Very Good Common Applications: Structural frameworks for buildings and bridges General fabrication such as beams, channels, and angles Equipment housings and base frames Tanks, conveyors, and light structural supports Civil and mechanical construction elements Summary: IS 2062 E250 BR and E250 C are well-suited for a wide variety of structural applications where moderate strength, good weldability, and affordability are key. These grades continue to be a staple choice in construction and engineering due to their consistent performance and fabrication ease.
