What is S355M Equivalent Material EN 10025-4?

S355M equivalent material refers to international steel grades that match or closely approximate the properties of S355M under EN 10025-4:2004 (2019)—a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel with 355 MPa minimum yield strength and ≥40 J Charpy V-notch at –20 °C longitudinally. The designation "S355M" means "S" for structural, "355" nominal yield (MPa, ≤16 mm transverse), "M" TMCP delivery (900-1100 °C rolling + 20-40 °C/s cooling).

TMCP's fine grains (ASTM 8-10) and low CEV ≤0.39 ensure superior weldability (no preheat to 80 mm) and isotropy versus normalized or QT alternatives. Equivalents are vital for global projects, allowing substitution without re-qualification under codes like Eurocode 3 or DNV-OS-B101. Common scenarios include replacing S355M with Q355C (GB) for Chinese domestic or A572 Gr.50 + Z35 (ASTM) for U.S. compliance.

Gangsteel supplies S355M with dual/triple certification, ideal for hybrid specs. For chemical basis, S355M Chemical Composition EN 10025-4 Supplier; mechanical, S355M Mechanical Properties EN 10025-4 Plate Supplier.

FAQ – Quick Answers

Q1: What is the best ASTM equivalent for S355M?A: A572 Gr.50 + Z35 with additional –20 °C impact testing is the closest. Many projects accept S355M directly.

Q2: What is the GB/T 1591 equivalent?A: Q355C – identical chemistry and properties. Gangsteel supplies dual-certified S355M + Q355C plates.

Q3: Can I use S355M instead of S355N?A: Yes – S355M is the modern TMCP replacement for normalized S355N with better properties.

Q4: Price difference between S355M and Q355C?A: S355M is 50–100 USD/ton higher than Q355C, but worth it for European certification and better thick-plate strength.

Q5: Z35 availability?A: Yes – large stock of S355M + Z35 ready for immediate delivery.

Q6: Delivery time to USA or Europe?A: Stock material 7–12 days to major ports (Houston, Rotterdam).

Q7: Can you supply triple-certified plates?A: Yes – EN 10025-4 S355M + ASTM A572 Gr.50 + GB/T 1591 Q355C is common from our stock.
