S355K2+N Plates are elite high-strength structural steels engineered for applications where mechanical failure is not an option. While sharing the 355 MPa minimum yield strength common to the S355 family, the "K2" designation sets this material apart by offering the highest level of impact toughness. These plates are strictly tested to ensure a minimum energy absorption of 40 Joules at -20°C, providing a significant safety buffer over the J2 grade. The +N suffix confirms that the steel has been Normalized, a heat treatment that refines the grain structure to ensure that these superior mechanical properties are consistent throughout the entire thickness of the plate.

The technical superiority of EN 10025-2 S355K2+N makes it indispensable for critical structural components subjected to high dynamic loads and severe environmental stress. By combining enhanced fracture toughness with a stress-relieved, normalized microstructure, these plates offer exceptional resistance to fatigue and brittle cracking. This grade is the primary choice for heavy-duty earthmoving equipment, critical bridge joints, offshore platform components, and high-load crane booms. For fabricators, the normalized condition ensures excellent dimensional stability during heavy welding and precision cutting, making S355K2+N the definitive standard for high-integrity infrastructure and heavy engineering.



S355K2+N Plates Features

  • » Elite Impact Toughness (K2): Guaranteed minimum impact energy of 40 Joules at -20°C, offering the highest level of protection against brittle fracture in the S355 series.
  • » Normalized Microstructure (+N): Processed through thermal normalization to ensure a fine-grained, uniform structure that provides consistent mechanical performance across all plate dimensions.
  • » Exceptional Dynamic Load Resistance: Specifically engineered to withstand high-frequency vibrations and repetitive stress, making it ideal for heavy machinery and bridge components.
  • » Superior Through-Thickness Ductility: The normalized state minimizes internal inclusions and stresses, providing excellent Z-direction properties to resist lamellar tearing in critical welded joints.
  • » High Yield Strength (355 MPa): Maintains the robust structural integrity of high-tensile steel, allowing for significant weight savings in large-scale engineering projects.
  • » Excellent Weld Integrity: Despite its high toughness, the controlled chemistry ensures superb weldability with standard industrial methods, maintaining a strong heat-affected zone (HAZ).
  • » Maximum Dimensional Stability: Normalization relieves internal rolling stresses, ensuring the plate remains flat and true during heavy-duty plasma or laser cutting operations.
  • » Cold Forming Precision: The refined metallurgical structure allows for tight bending and forming without surface cracking, even in heavy-thickness sections used for crane booms.
