What is S355M Steel Equivalent EN 10025-4?

S355M is a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel per EN 10025-4:2004 (2019 revision) with:

  • Minimum yield strength 355 MPa
  • Impact toughness ≥40 J at –20 °C (longitudinal)
  • Very low CEV ≤0.39 → excellent weldability

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: Do you have Z35 in stock?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.
