Gangsteel, a leading manufacturer and exporter of structural steel plates, supplies premium EN 10025 S355 plates for construction, bridges, and heavy machinery applications. The yield strength of EN 10025 S355 is 355 MPa minimum for plates up to 16 mm thick, decreasing for thicker sections. This article explores the yield strength of EN 10025 S355, detailing its sub-grades, chemical compositions, mechanical properties, and applications, helping engineers and fabricators understand its performance for material selection.

 

yield strength of en 10025 s355 Overview of EN 10025 S355

 

EN 10025 S355 is a high-strength structural steel grade from EN 10025-2, with sub-grades like S355JR, S355J0, S355J2, and S355K2 based on impact toughness. Its yield strength is 355 MPa min, making it suitable for load-bearing structures. Gangsteel offers EN 10025 S355 with high yield for reliability, including EN 10025-2 S355J0 and EN 10025-2 S235J0, ensuring compliance for global projects.

 

yield strength of en 10025 s355 Grade Designation and Yield Strength Breakdown

 

The designation "S355" indicates "S" for structural, "355" for minimum yield strength in MPa. Yield varies by thickness:

Thickness (mm)

Yield Strength (min, MPa)

≤ 16

355

16–40

345

40–63

335

63–80

325

80–100

315

100–150

295

150–200

285

200–250

275

Key Notes on Yield Strength:

  • Yield decreases with thickness due to rolling effects.
  • Sub-grades (JR, J0, J2, K2) do not affect yield but impact temperature.

Gangsteel’s S355 plates maintain high yield for demanding use.

For S355J2: Impact 27 J at -20°C. Yield is the same across sub-grades, but toughness varies.

 

yield strength of en 10025 s355 Applications and Selection Considerations

 

EN 10025 S355 is used in construction (bridges), offshore (platforms), and machinery (cranes), leveraging high yield for weight savings.

Selection considerations:

  • Thickness: Yield decreases above 16 mm; choose based on size.
  • Toughness: JR for +20°C, J2 for -20°C.
  • Cost: Higher yield reduces material use.

For moderate yield, check EN 10025-2 S275JR or EN 10025-2 S275J0 steel.
