What is S355N Steel?

S355N is a normalized or normalized rolled fine-grain structural steel under EN 10025-3:2019, with:

  • S: Structural steel.
  • 355: Minimum yield strength of 355 MPa (≤16 mm).
  • N: Normalized, with impact toughness tested at -20°C.
  • Material Number: 1.0545.

The normalization process refines the grain structure, enhancing S355N’s strength, toughness, and weldability, making it ideal for moderate climates. Compared to en 10025 3 s460n normalized structural steel plate, S355N has lower strength (355 MPa vs 460 MPa) but is more cost-effective for general structural applications.

 

Current S355N Steel Price

The S355N steel price varies based on market conditions, but as of October 25, 2025, Gangsteel’s guide shows:

  • Standard Pricing: $900–$1,300 per ton for thicknesses 6–50 mm, widths up to 3000 mm.
  • Thick Plates: $1,300–$1,800 per ton for 50–200 mm thicknesses, due to additional rolling costs.
  • Bulk Discounts: Orders of 20+ tons qualify for 10–15% off; small orders (1–5 tons) may add 5–10%.
  • FOB Shanghai: Base price excludes shipping; add $200–$400 per ton for export.

These prices reflect stable raw material costs and steady demand for S355N in construction sectors. Compared to en 10025 3 s460n normalized structural steel plate, S355N is 20–30% less expensive due to its lower strength (355 MPa vs 460 MPa).

 

Factors Affecting S355N Steel Price

Several factors influence the S355N steel price:

  • Thickness and Size: Thinner plates (6–20 mm) are priced lower (~$900/ton); thicker plates (100–200 mm) increase costs by $400–$500/ton for processing.
  • Order Quantity: Larger orders reduce the per-ton price; minimum order is typically 1 ton.
  • Market Fluctuations: Prices for iron ore and scrap steel impact costs; current market stability keeps S355N steel price predictable.
  • Certifications: Ultrasonic testing (EN 10160) or Z-quality (Z15, Z25, Z35 per EN 10164) adds 5–10% to the price.
  • Delivery: FOB China; global shipping costs vary by region (e.g., $200/ton to Europe, $300–$400/ton to Americas).
  • Processing: Custom cutting, welding, or bending may add $50–$150/ton.
