Steel S355: a versatile and durable material, used in a variety of applications including shipbuilding, railway vehicle construction, and machinery manufacturing. It is characterized by a minimum yield strength of 355 MPa, a tensile strength of around 510 MPa, and a minimum resilience of 27 J at the temperature specified by the standards.

These characteristics make it an ideal material for applications requiring strong structural strength, tensile strength, resistance to deformation, as well as good workability and weldability.

Characteristics of Steel S355

The characteristics of this steel are fundamental for its use in different applications. Yield strength, tensile strength and resilience are all properties that make this material ideal for applications requiring strong structural strength, good tensile strength and resistance to deformation.

Yield Strength

The yield strength is the ability of a material to resist stress without plastic deformation. This type of steel has a minimum yield strength of 355 MPa, which means it can withstand a stress of 355 MPa before deforming. This strength is necessary for applications that require strong structural strength, such as building and bridge construction.

Tensile Strength

Tensile strength is the ability of a material to withstand stress without breaking. Steel S355 has a tensile strength of approximately 510 MPa, which means it can withstand a stress of 510 MPa before breaking. This strength is necessary for applications requiring strong tensile strength, such as the construction of bridges and skyscrapers.

Resilience of steel S355

Resilience is the ability of a material to absorb a significant amount of energy before breaking. Steel S355, depending on the material grade, has a resilience of at least 27 J at the temperature specified by the regulations, meaning it can absorb a significant amount of energy before breaking. This ductility is necessary for applications requiring good impact resistance, such as vehicle construction.

Uses of this steel

Steel S355 is used in a variety of applications, including:

  • S355 steel is used in a variety of applications, including:
