What is the chemical composition of STKR400 steel

Dec 18, 2025 Leave a message

STKR400 is the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) designation for carbon steel square tubing used in mechanical structures. The primary standard for its welded square tubing is JIS G 3444 (Carbon Steel Tubes for Mechanical Structures). This standard specifies the following:

1. Material Requirements: The chemical composition of STKR400 must meet the following requirements: Carbon (C) ≤ 0.30%, Manganese (Mn) 0.60%-1.20%, ensuring stable weldability.

2. Dimensional Tolerances: The standard specifies an allowable deviation of ±1.0 mm for side length and ±10% for wall thickness (refer to Table 2 of JIS G 3444). For example, the actual side length range for a 50mm × 50mm square tubing is 49mm~51mm.

3. Mechanical Properties: Tensile strength ≥ 400MPa, yield strength ≥ 235MPa (Data source: JIS Standard 2021).
