Where to find steel specifications and equivalent grades

[TSN79]

Anybody know a site where one can find an overview over different kinds of steel and their specifications, such as that St50-2 is actually the same steel as E295. A "handy" site where this type of info can be found...

www.matweb.com is a good all-round online materials database.

I've also found the http://www.corusgroup.com/ website to be particularly useful for looking up the properties of various steels.

for DIN Material No. 1.0050 / DIN Code St50-2 / DIN No.17100 - ASTM - A570-50

Checking on E295, one finds it is covered by 1.0050 (from EN 10027-2), so it would appeart that it is the same as St50-2. Check - http://www.mesteel.com/cgi-bin/w3-m...eelmillsoftheworld.com/qualities/european.htm
