S355ML Plate EN 10025-4 TMCP Structural Supplier

Gangsteel – China's Leading Mill-Direct Supplier & Exporter of S355ML Plate EN 10025-4 TMCP Structural Steel

Gangsteel stands as the premier global supplier for S355ML plate EN 10025-4 TMCP structural steel, combining vast inventory, expert processing, and unparalleled compliance to meet the needs of demanding structural projects worldwide. As a thermomechanically controlled processed (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel under EN 10025-4:2004 (2019 revision), S355ML plates deliver a minimum yield strength of 355 MPa, superior low-temperature toughness (≥27 J at –50 °C longitudinal), and exceptional weldability (CEV ≤0.39, no preheat up to 80 mm).

 We stock over 5,000 tons of S355ML plates in thicknesses 6–200 mm, widths 1500–4200 mm, and lengths up to 18 meters, produced by elite mills such as HBIS and Shougang with full PED 2014/68/EU and CPR 305/2011 certification. Each plate ships with comprehensive EN 10204-3.1/3.2 mill test certificates, 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 in S355ML plates—precise hot rolling at 900-1100 °C followed by 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, these plates enable 15-20% weight reduction versus S355J2, optimizing designs under Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-1) for buckling or DNV-OS-B101 for offshore fatigue. Ideal for monopile foundations in North Sea wind farms or seismic girders in alpine regions, S355ML's structural integrity shines in cold, dynamic loads.

Gangsteel not only supplies S355ML plates but also customizes them with plasma cutting (±0.5 mm tolerance), beveling (V/X/K grooves), drilling (up to 150 mm dia.), rolling (min ID 500 mm), and priming (C5M 200 µm DFT), all while maintaining traceability. Our en 10025 4 High Strength Structural Steel series includes complementary grades for hybrid builds. For a foundational breakdown, consult S355ML Meaning EN 10025-4 Structural Steel Supplier. With fast 3–7 day delivery to 90+ countries, Gangsteel ensures your TMCP structural needs are met efficiently and economically.

 

What is S355ML Plate EN 10025-4 TMCP Structural Supplier?

S355ML plates under EN 10025-4:2004 (2019) represent a pinnacle of TMCP structural steel engineering, where the grade's designation—"S" for structural, "355" for nominal yield strength (355 MPa ≤16 mm transverse), "M" for thermomechanical processing, and "L" for low-temperature impact (≥27 J at –50 °C longitudinal)—encapsulates its role in load-bearing applications requiring robustness and resilience. TMCP, the "M" hallmark, integrates deformation control during rolling with tailored cooling rates (20-40 °C/s post-900-1100 °C austenitization), forging a fine ferrite-bainite matrix without normalization, yielding superior isotropy and reduced residual stresses (<100 MPa) compared to hot-rolled S355J2 (EN 10025-2).

This process refines grains to ASTM 8-10 sizes via microalloying (Nb ≤0.05%, V ≤0.10%, Ti ≤0.05%), enhancing elongation (≥22%) and fracture toughness (KIc >140 MPa√m at –40 °C), while CEV ≤0.39 minimizes weld preheat (none to 80 mm, 70-120 °C thicker per EN ISO 13916). Density 7.85 g/cm³ and hardness 140-180 HBW facilitate accurate FEA for inertia (I = bh³/12) and machinability (0.2-0.3 mm/rev feeds). S355ML's structural meaning shines in Eurocode 3 fatigue (S-N >10^7 cycles at 160 MPa stress ratio R=0.1) and DNV-OS-B101 offshore, where –50 °C KV prevents cleavage (ductile ≥50% fibrous area per EN ISO 148-1).

In practice, S355ML plates support 15-25% thinner sections than S355J2, cutting mass for transport (e.g., 20% savings in monopile logistics) and installation, aligning with EU Green Deal sustainability. Gangsteel verifies properties with spectrographic analysis and KV sub-size testing (>40 mm thick), providing data for CTOD (>0.4 mm) in fracture mechanics.
