EN10025-4 S355ML Thermomechanical Plate Supplier

Gangsteel – China's Leading Mill-Direct Supplier & Exporter of EN10025-4 S355ML Thermomechanical Plates

Gangsteel is your trusted U.S.-focused supplier for EN10025-4 S355ML thermomechanical plates, with extensive stock and rapid delivery to meet American project timelines. As a TMCP (thermomechanical controlled process) weldable fine-grain structural steel under EN 10025-4:2004 (2019 revision), S355ML offers 355 MPa minimum yield strength, excellent low-temperature toughness (≥27 J at –50 °C longitudinal), and superior weldability (CEV ≤0.39, no preheat up to 80 mm). We maintain over 5,000 tons of S355ML plates in thicknesses 6–200 mm, widths 1500–4200 mm, and lengths up to 18 meters, produced by top mills like HBIS and Shougang with full PED 2014/68/EU and CPR 305/2011 certification. Each plate includes EN 10204-3.1/3.2 MTCs, third-party inspections from DNV-GL, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, CCS, RINA, KR, TÜV, or SGS, Z25/Z35 through-thickness options, and 100% UT EN 10160 S2/E2 testing.

The TMCP process—hot rolling at 900-1100 °C with accelerated cooling (20-40 °C/s)—creates a refined ferrite-bainite microstructure, ensuring fine grains (ASTM 8-10) for isotropy, ductility (≥22% elongation), and fatigue resistance (>10^7 cycles at 160 MPa). At 7.85 g/cm³ density and 140-180 HBW hardness, S355ML enables 15-20% weight reduction versus S355J2, ideal for U.S. offshore wind (BOEM-compliant) or bridge retrofits (AASHTO). Gangsteel supports dual-certification (EN + ASTM A572 Gr.50 equiv) for seamless U.S. integration. Fast 7–12 day delivery to Houston, Los Angeles, or New York. Full processing: plasma cutting (±0.4 mm), beveling, drilling, rolling, priming. Explore our en 10025 4 High Strength Structural Steel series.

What is EN10025-4 S355ML Thermomechanical Plate?

EN10025-4 S355ML is a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel, where "S" denotes structural use, "355" nominal yield 355 MPa (≤16 mm transverse), "M" TMCP delivery, and "L" enhanced Charpy V-notch ≥27 J at –50 °C longitudinally per EN ISO 148-1. TMCP integrates controlled deformation and cooling to achieve properties without normalization, yielding low residual stress (<100 MPa), better flatness (<3 mm/m), and superior HAZ toughness.

Microalloying (Nb ≤0.05%, V ≤0.10%, Ti ≤0.05%) pins grains for ASTM 8-10 size, with CEV ≤0.39 for preheat-free welding to 80 mm. Properties include density 7.85 g/cm³ for mass calc, hardness 140-180 HBW for machining, and KIc >140 MPa√m at –40 °C for fracture. In U.S. contexts, S355ML aligns with A572 Gr.50 + Z35 + –50 °C KV, supporting AASHTO or AISC 360 with supplements. Gangsteel verifies TMCP via microstructure analysis.
