S355ML Material Properties EN 10025-4 Supplier

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

Gangsteel is the expert supplier for S355ML material properties EN 10025-4 steel plates, providing comprehensive data on this thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) fine-grain structural steel to facilitate precise engineering and compliance worldwide. As defined in EN 10025-4:2004 (2019 revision), S355ML offers a minimum yield strength of 355 MPa, exceptional weldability (CEV ≤0.39), and low-temperature toughness (≥27 J at –50 °C longitudinal), making it indispensable for high-performance applications.

 We stock over 5,000 tons of S355ML plates—thicknesses 6–200 mm, widths 1500–4200 mm, lengths up to 18 meters—produced by leading mills like HBIS and Shougang with full PED 2014/68/EU and CPR 305/2011 certification. Every plate includes detailed EN 10204-3.1/3.2 MTCs outlining material properties, plus third-party verifications from DNV-GL, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, CCS, RINA, KR, TÜV, or SGS.

Material properties of S355ML—encompassing chemical composition, mechanical strength, density (7.85 g/cm³), hardness (140-180 HBW), and impact resistance—are key to its success in weight-optimized designs under Eurocode 3, reducing sections 15-20% versus S355J2 while ensuring fatigue life >10^7 cycles at 160 MPa. Z25/Z35 through-thickness and 100% UT EN 10160 S2/E2 are standard for flaw detection. Gangsteel equips you with property data for FEA modeling, weld procedure qualification (WPS), and certification, with fast delivery (3–7 days globally) and services like cutting, beveling, drilling, rolling, and priming.

What is S355ML Material Properties EN 10025-4?

The material properties of S355ML under EN 10025-4:2004 (2019) define its identity as a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel engineered for high-strength, low-temperature demands. "S" signifies structural suitability for load-bearing; "355" the nominal minimum yield strength of 355 MPa (transverse, ≤16 mm thick); "M" the TMCP delivery, involving controlled hot rolling (900-1100 °C) and accelerated cooling (20-40 °C/s) to form a refined ferrite-bainite microstructure; and "L" enhanced Charpy V-notch impact of ≥27 J at –50 °C longitudinally, per EN ISO 148-1.

TMCP's material properties—low residual stresses (<100 MPa), fine grains (ASTM 8-10), and CEV ≤0.39—yield superior weldability (no preheat to 80 mm), ductility (≥22% elongation), and isotropy, outperforming normalized S355NL (EN 10025-3) by 20-30% in distortion resistance. Density 7.85 g/cm³ ensures accurate mass calculations for buoyancy in offshore FEA, while hardness 140-180 HBW supports machinability (feed rates 0.2-0.3 mm/rev). Microalloying (Nb ≤0.05%, V ≤0.10%, Ti ≤0.05%) pins boundaries for toughness, with P/S ≤0.025/0.020% minimizing brittleness.

These properties enable S355ML in Eurocode 3 fatigue designs (S-N >10^7 cycles at 160 MPa) and DNV-OS-B101 offshore, where KV prevents cleavage (ductile ≥50% fibrous). Gangsteel verifies properties via spectrographic/UT, providing data for CTOD (>0.4 mm at –40 °C) and KIc (>140 MPa√m).
