What is S355 Material EN 10025-4 High Strength Plate?

“S355 material” in EN 10025-4 refers to the S355M and S355ML grades – the two high-strength, fine-grain structural steels delivered in the thermomechanical rolled (TMCP) condition.

  • S355M→ standard temperature version (impact ≥40 J at –20 °C)
  • S355ML→ low-temperature version (impact ≥27 J at –50 °C)

Both grades have:

  • Minimum yield strength 355 MPa
  • Tensile strength 470–630 MPa
  • Very low CEV ≤ 0.39 → excellent weldability (no preheat up to 80 mm)
  • Fine grain structure from TMCP process

S355 material EN 10025-4 is the modern replacement for older normalized grades (S355N/NL in EN 10025-3) and the direct competitor to S355J2 (EN 10025-2). It is now the dominant high-strength structural steel worldwide, especially in offshore wind, Arctic oil & gas, heavy cranes, and cold-region infrastructure.

Applications of S355 Material EN 10025-4 High Strength Plates

S355M and S355ML are the most widely used high-strength structural steels worldwide:

  • Offshore wind turbine foundations (monopiles, jackets, transition pieces)
  • Arctic oil & gas platforms
  • Jack-up rigs and heavy mobile cranes
  • Cold-region bridges and infrastructure
  • Penstocks and pressure pipelines in alpine areas

When the temperature drops below –20 °C, S355ML is required.

FAQ – Detailed Answers

Q1: What is the difference between S355M and S355ML?

A: The only difference is the impact test temperature. S355M is tested at –20 °C with minimum 40 J (longitudinal), while S355ML is tested at –50 °C with minimum 27 J. Yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, chemical composition, and weldability are exactly the same. Choose S355M when service temperature is above –20 °C; choose S355ML when below –20 °C.

Q2: Is preheating required when welding S355 material?

A: No preheating is required up to 80 mm thickness thanks to the very low CEV (typically 0.34–0.37 actual). For thicknesses over 80 mm or highly restrained joints, a modest preheat of 75–100 °C is sufficient. This is a major advantage over many other structural steels.

Q3: Do you have Z35 quality in stock for S355 material?

A: Yes – we keep very large stock of both S355M + Z35 and S355ML + Z35 (reduction of area ≥35 % per EN 10164 Class 3), especially in 20–120 mm thickness, ready for immediate delivery.

Q4: What is the density and hardness of S355 material?

A: Density is 7.85 g/cm³ (7850 kg/m³), hardness is 140–180 HBW (typical 150–170 HBW in our stock). These values are consistent across the entire thickness range.

Q5: What NDT do you provide as standard?

A: 100 % ultrasonic testing to EN 10160 S2/E2 is included with every plate. We can upgrade to S3/E3, magnetic particle (MT), or penetrant testing (PT) on request at no extra charge for reasonable quantities.

Q6: What is the maximum thickness you can supply for S355 material?

A: Up to 200 mm with full properties and certification. We guarantee minimum yield of 295 MPa up to 180 mm and 285 MPa to 200 mm – significantly better than the standard requirement.

Q7: How fast can you deliver to Europe or USA?

A: From ready stock: 7–12 days to Rotterdam, Antwerp, Houston, or Los Angeles. We have regular consolidation containers and can offer air freight for urgent small quantities (<10 tons) in 48–72 hours.
