EN 1.0477 (P285NH) Non-Alloy Steel

EN 1.0477 steel is a carbon (non-alloy) steel formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the normalized condition. 1.0477 is the EN numeric designation for this material. P285NH is the EN chemical designation.

It has a moderately high embodied energy among wrought carbon or non-alloy steels. In addition, it has a moderately high base cost and a moderately high electrical conductivity.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare EN 1.0477 steel to: wrought carbon or non-alloy steels (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
