What is EN 10025-4 S355ML Weldable Fine Grain Plate?

EN 10025-4 S355ML is TMCP weldable fine-grain steel per EN 10025-4:2004 (2019 update), for high-strength low-temp use. "S355" = 355 MPa yield; "M" = thermomechanical; "L" = -50°C ≥27J KV. TMCP (900-1100°C roll, 20-40°C/s cool) refines ferrite-bainite grains (ASTM 8-10), boosting ductility (≥22% A5) and weldability (CEV ≤0.39, no preheat to 80 mm).

Vs. normalized S355NL, TMCP lowers stresses, improves isotropy for fatigue (170 MPa limit). Z-test: Z25/Z35 (EN 10164) for tension welds. NDT: UT S2/E2 standard. Specs: 6-200 mm t, 1500-4200 mm w, 6-18 m l; density 7.85 g/cm³; hardness 140-170 HBW. Eurocode 3 compliant, for DNV-OS-B101 offshore. See S355ML Meaning EN 10025-4 Structural Steel Supplier. Gangsteel ensures EU-approved sourcing.
