S355ML Density EN 10025-4 Steel Plate Supplier

Gangsteel – China's Leading Mill-Direct Supplier & Exporter of S355ML Density EN 10025-4 Steel Plates

Gangsteel is the authoritative supplier for S355ML density EN 10025-4 steel plates, providing precise material data and premium stock to support accurate engineering calculations worldwide. With a density of 7.85 g/cm³ (7850 kg/m³), S355ML offers an optimal strength-to-weight ratio for high-performance applications, making it ideal for weight-sensitive designs like offshore structures and wind turbine components. We maintain over 5,000 tons of S355ML plates in permanent stock, available in thicknesses from 6 to 200 mm, widths up to 4200 mm, and lengths to 18 meters—all thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) for superior fine-grain properties, low CEV ≤0.39, and guaranteed –50 °C impact toughness (≥27 J longitudinal).

Produced by elite mills such as HBIS and Shougang with full PED 2014/68/EU and CPR 305/2011 certification, every plate ships with detailed EN 10204-3.1/3.2 mill test certificates confirming density and composition. Third-party inspections from DNV-GL, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, CCS, RINA, KR, TÜV, or SGS are standard, alongside Z25/Z35 through-thickness options and 100% UT EN 10160 S2/E2 testing. At 7.85 g/cm³, S355ML enables 15-20% weight reduction versus S355J2, slashing transport and installation costs while maintaining Eurocode 3 compliance.

Whether you're optimizing monopile foundations for Baltic offshore wind or calculating beam deflections for cold-region bridges, Gangsteel's S355ML density data ensures precision. Fast global delivery (3–7 days) and value-added services (cutting, beveling, drilling, rolling, priming) make us the efficient choice.

What is S355ML Density EN 10025-4 Steel Plate?

The density of S355ML under EN 10025-4:2004 (2019 revision) is a critical property for structural engineers, fixed at 7.85 g/cm³ (7850 kg/m³)—the standard for low-alloy fine-grain steels, reflecting its carbon-manganese composition with microalloying for strength without excessive weight. S355ML is a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel, where "S" denotes structural applicability, "355" the nominal minimum yield strength of 355 MPa (≤16 mm thick), "M" the TMCP delivery state, and "L" enhanced Charpy V-notch impact of ≥27 J at –50 °C longitudinally.

TMCP—hot deformation at 900-1100 °C followed by controlled cooling (20-40 °C/s)—yields a refined ferrite-bainite microstructure, maintaining this consistent density while optimizing for ductility (≥22% elongation) and fatigue resistance. At 7.85 g/cm³, S355ML's specific gravity (relative to water) is 7.85, enabling precise mass calculations for finite element analysis (FEA) under Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-1), where it supports 15-25% thinner sections than S355J2 (same density but lower toughness). This density ensures balanced inertia in beams (I = bh³/12 adjusted for mass) and minimizes buoyancy issues in offshore flotation.

In low-temperature service, the density remains stable down to –50 °C, with no phase changes affecting volume. Microalloying (Nb, V, Ti) pins grains without altering density, while low CEV ≤0.39 prevents weld-induced density variations from porosity. For Polish or Baltic projects, this matches stal S355ML needs under PN-EN 10025-4. Gangsteel verifies density via hydrostatic weighing per ISO 1183-1 if required, with actual values 7.84-7.86 g/cm³.
