Gangsteel – China's Leading Mill-Direct Supplier & Exporter of EN 10025-4 S355M Thermomechanically Rolled Weldable Fine Grain Structural Steel Plates

As a renowned Chinese steel exporter, Gangsteel furnishes exceptional en 10025 4 s355m steel plate straight from our substantial 15,000+ ton depot. EN 10025-4 S355M is a versatile high-strength, fine-grain structural steel manufactured via TMCP (Thermomechanical Controlled Processing), yielding a minimum yield strength of 355 MPa and dependable weldability. Spanning thicknesses 6–200 mm, widths up to 4200 mm, and lengths to 18 m, our plates hail from premier mills such as HBIS and Shougang, equipped with thorough PED/CE endorsement (2014/68/EU) and EN 10204-3.1/3.2 certifications. Independent reviews by DNV, ABS, Lloyd’s, BV, or TÜV validate fitness for transnational specifications.

 

What is EN 10025-4 S355M TMCP Structural Steel Plate?

EN 10025-4 S355M is a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel according to the European EN 10025-4:2004 standard (amended 2019), crafted for augmented-strength demands in ambient conditions. "S" marks structural intent, "355" the foundational yield in MPa, "M" the thermomechanical condition, and absent "L" denotes baseline impact at -20°C (≥40J Charpy V-notch). TMCP—exact rolling paired with regulated cooling—engenders a refined polygonal ferrite matrix, conferring 10–20% elevated bearing over S275 or S235 grades and allowing 12–18% trimmer geometries for thrifty fabrication.

Prominent attributes include curtailed carbon equivalent (CEV ≤ 0.39) permitting preheat-exempt welding to 70 mm thick, stalwart HAZ versus fractures, and selective Z-direction fortification (Z25/Z35) to obviate rifting in burdened unions. Unlike normalized siblings (EN 10025-3 S355N), S355M's TMCP lessens latent stresses and amplifies evenness, apt for vibratory duties. It conforms to Eurocode 3 and EN 1090 for execution, impelling from commercial edifices to transit hubs. Gangsteel accentuates S355M provisioning (core 10–80 mm thick) for prompt 3–7 day dissemination, underpinning endeavors like urban high-rises and continental rail corridors.

 

Chemical Composition (Ladle Analysis, % max unless noted)

Applications & Design Considerations for S355M

S355M's equilibrium yield and formability streamline Eurocode 3 tension checks, curtailing mass 15% vs. S275JR in truss webs while fortifying versus yielding. Vital venues:

  • Commercial Erects: Office towers, warehouse portals—Rm sustains live loads.
  • Transport Nets: Overpass beams, metro vaults; fatigue EN 1993-1-9 > S275 (Δσ=190 MPa).
  • Industrial Gear: Conveyor frames, pump housings—low CEV assures joint soundness.
  • Modular Builds: Prefab panels, acoustic barriers; Z25 averts peel in shear tabs.

Fabric notes: Pair with E35xx consumables; max heat 2.5 kJ/cm for HAZ constancy. Form radius 2.5t ambient; heat bend 800–950°C sans reheat. Sustain metrics: 100% recyclable, 20% reduced emissions vs. AR via TMCP. Gangsteel proffers sheared edges (tolerance ±2 mm) and pre-punched slots for modular clips.

A: Impact gauge exclusively: S355M affirms ≥40J at -20°C, S355ML at -50°C (≥27J) for gelid sites. Yield, stretch, and makeup identical—elect ML for under -20°C by EN 1991-1-4 wind loads.

Q2: Preheating mandate for S355M welds?

A: Infrequent; CEV ≤0.39 endorses nil-preheat to 50 mm via E5003 arcs. For denser/confined, 60–120°C per BS EN ISO 3834. Lot-wise CET for procedure tailoring.

Q3: S355M viability for containment?

A: Positive—PED Cat. I/II for ambient tanks via EN 14015. Adjust for t>40 mm; VT per EN 10228-1 for bond scrutiny.

Q4: S355M surcharge vs. S275M?

A: 70–130 USD/ton for boosted yield, balanced by 10–15% tonnage cut. FOB Shanghai: ~650–750 USD/ton (20 mm, spot).

Q5: Z-specs for S355M?

A: Standard Z25 (≥25% RA); Z35 (≥35%) available for tensile like base plates. EN 10164 Class 1.

Q6: S355M parity with A572 Gr.50?

A: Yield match (355 vs. 345 MPa); S355M TMCP heightens grain control. Complies AISC with notch adders.

Q7: Mod time for S355M?

A: Virgin: 2–4 days. Bespoke (shear, notch, seal): 3–5 days. Mill fresh: 3–5 weeks; rush vessel for <6 MT.
