Product Description

S355K2

S355K2

Due to its relatively high tensile strength and yield, this is a versatile structural grade steel type commonly used in critical aspects of construction and engineering projects.

This non-alloy grade also boasts lower levels of phosphorous and sulphur content, rendering it tougher and more resistant to stresses and forces applied to it.

APPLICATIONS

• Transmission towers

• Freight cars

• Railway trucks

• Building structures

• Lifting equipment

• Pipework

• Oil and gas platforms

• Shipbuilding

WELDING

This steel can be welded relatively easily to other weldable steels, a process enabled by its high tensile strength and lower carbon content.

FORMING

This grade offers quite good cold forming capability but isn’t well suited to hardening, aside from limited heat treatment processes.

If heat treatment is undertaken, factors such as furnace type, component dimensions, rate of heating and cooling should all be taken into consideration.
