Nominal values of yield strength and ultimate tensile strength for hot-rolled flat products for cold-forming conforming to EN 10149-2 (+M grades) and EN 10149-3 (+N grades).
Nominal yield strength f_y corresponds to the basic yield strength and ultimate tensile strength f_u corresponds to R_m. Values are applicable for design according to EN 1993-1-1 and EN 1993-1-3.
