Material
Steel S235JR (1.0038)
CNC-machined steel S235JR is the most widely used European non-alloy structural steel, valued for excellent weldability, formability, and machinability at a low cost, though with only moderate strength.

About
S235JR (1.0038) is a non-alloy structural steel under EN 10025-2, the European equivalent to ASTM A36.
Its low carbon content (under 0.19%) gives it excellent weldability and formability, and its impact toughness is guaranteed at 27J at room temperature (+20 °C).
It offers only moderate strength compared to higher grades like S355J2, so it isn't the right choice for structural applications needing higher load capacity or cold-weather toughness.
It's a good material choice for general fabrication, brackets, frames, and welded structural components at standard temperatures.
