EN 10025-3 S355N is a normalized / normalized-rolled weldable fine-grain structural steel — a 355 MPa-yield European grade that is not plain carbon, despite the “non-alloy” label some listings (including the original page for this grade) attach to it. Its name is a specification: S is structural steel, 355 is the minimum yield strength in MPa (up to 16 mm), N is the normalized or normalized-rolled delivery condition, and the material number is 1.0545. It belongs to EN 10025-3, the part of the European structural-steel standard that covers normalized fine-grain steels — grades engineered for improved toughness through a refined grain structure.
S355N is supplied as plate, sheet, section and bar for welded and bolted structures — bridges, buildings, cranes and lifting equipment, offshore and marine structures, wind-turbine towers, heavy machinery and transport. The “N” matters: normalizing (or normalized rolling) refines the grain, homogenizes properties through the thickness and gives the steel a guaranteed Charpy V-notch impact of −20 °C, ≥ 27 J (longitudinal). Strength comes from a low carbon content plus grain-refining and micro-alloying additions (Nb, V, Ti and aluminium), so it stays readily weldable. One point to keep straight: S355N is not the “normalized version of S355JR” — it shares the 355 MPa yield but is a different, fine-grain specification in a different part of EN 10025.

Every part of S355N is a specification, not a marketing name.
| Part | Meaning |
|---|---|
| S | Structural steel — the European convention for structural-steel grades. |
| 355 | The specified minimum yield strength in MPa (up to 16 mm). As with all EN 10025 grades, the first number is a yield value, not a tensile one. |
| N | Normalized or normalized-rolled delivery condition — the defining feature of S355N. Normalizing refines the grain and guarantees −20 °C impact toughness. (EN 10025-4 adds M = thermomechanical, NL = normalized with −50 °C impact.) |
| 1.0545 | The European material number (Werkstoffnummer) for S355N — use it on drawings and certificates to remove any ambiguity about which grade is meant. |
| EN 10025-3 | Part 3 of the European structural-steel standard — normalized/normalized-rolled weldable fine-grain structural steels. It is distinct from EN 10025-2 (general S355JR/J0/J2/K2) and EN 10025-4 (TMCP / normalized-low-temperature grades). |
The S355 toughness ladder at the 355 MPa level — the letter/temperature is what changes.
| Grade | Standard | Condition | Impact test |
|---|---|---|---|
| S355JR | EN 10025-2 | As-rolled | +20 °C, ≥ 27 J |
| S355J0 | EN 10025-2 | As-rolled | 0 °C, ≥ 27 J |
| S355J2 | EN 10025-2 | As-rolled | -20 °C, ≥ 27 J |
| S355N (this page) | EN 10025-3 | Normalized / norm.-rolled | -20 °C, ≥ 27 J |
| S355NL | EN 10025-4 | Normalized (low-temp) | -50 °C, ≥ 27 J |
| S355M | EN 10025-4 | TMCP | -20 °C, ≥ 27 J |
S355N is the 355 MPa yield level of the European fine-grain structural family. The table maps it to its closest grades — a similar yield figure is not a licence to substitute; check chemistry, toughness, condition and thickness brackets before swapping. Linked grades open their own page.
| Standard | Grade | Min. Yield | What to check before substituting |
|---|---|---|---|
| EN 10025-3 (this page) | S355N | 355 MPa | The European normalized fine-grain grade — -20 °C, ≥ 27 J, material 1.0545 (this page) |
| EN 10025-2 | S355JR | 355 MPa | Same yield, but as-rolled with only +20 °C impact. S355N is the tougher, normalized alternative — do not treat them as interchangeable where cold toughness matters. |
| EN 10025-2 | S355J2 | 355 MPa | Same -20 °C / 27 J impact as S355N, but as-rolled rather than normalized. Closest match on impact; S355N adds grain refinement and homogeneity. |
| EN 10025-2 | S355J0 | 355 MPa | As-rolled, 0 °C impact — in between JR and J2. Dedicated page not published on this site; cited for the toughness ladder. |
| EN 10025-4 | S355NL | 355 MPa | The normalized low-temperature cousin — -50 °C, ≥ 27 J. The right choice for Arctic / severe-cold service. Dedicated page not published here; named for cross-reference. |
| EN 10025-4 | S355M | 355 MPa | Thermomechanical-rolled equivalent of S355N — finer grain, cheaper welding, same -20 °C impact. Dedicated page not published here. |
| EN 10025-3 | S275N | 275 MPa | The 275 MPa step in the same fine-grain family — 80 MPa below S355N. Dedicated page not published here. |
| EN 10025-3 | S420N | 420 MPa | The 420 MPa step above S355N in the same fine-grain family. Dedicated page not published here. |
| ASTM A572 / A572M | Grade 50 | 345 MPa | The closest US grade by yield (345 MPa, ~10 MPa below S355N). Confirm impact — A572 does not mandate the −20 °C test unless specified as a supplementary requirement. |
| GB/T 1591 | Q355D / Q355ND | 355 MPa | The Chinese 355 MPa grade with -20 °C impact — a near equivalent for Chinese-spec projects. Dedicated page not published here. |
| DIN (legacy) | StE 355 / TStE 355 | 355 MPa | The old German designations for normalized / normalized-low-temperature fine-grain 355 MPa steel — S355N is the EN successor. Named for cross-reference. |
| JIS G3106 | SM490 (SM490YA / YB) | 325 MPa (tensile-based) | Japanese SM number is a tensile value (490 MPa), not a yield value; SM490 yield is ~325 MPa. Not a true 355 MPa yield match; named only for cross-reference. |
Ladle (cast) and product-analysis limits in weight percent, per EN 10025-3:2019 Table 2 for S355N. The original product sheet for this grade listed only C, Si, Mn, P, S, Cr, Ni, Cu and V, with a fixed single C value of 0.16 and too-narrow Mn of 0.80–1.25, and omitted the defining grain-refining elements — the table below is the full EN 10025-3 set.
| Element | Ladle analysis (max %) | Product analysis (max %) |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon, C | ≤ 0.20 | ≤ 0.22 |
| Silicon, Si | ≤ 0.50 | ≤ 0.55 |
| Manganese, Mn | 0.90 – 1.65 | 0.85 – 1.75 |
| Phosphorus, P | ≤ 0.030 | ≤ 0.035 |
| Sulphur, S | ≤ 0.025 | ≤ 0.030 |
| Nitrogen, N | ≤ 0.015 | ≤ 0.017 |
| Aluminium (total), Al | ≥ 0.020 | ≥ 0.015 |
| Niobium, Nb | ≤ 0.05 | ≤ 0.06 |
| Vanadium, V | ≤ 0.12 | ≤ 0.14 |
| Titanium, Ti | ≤ 0.05 | ≤ 0.06 |
| Chromium, Cr | ≤ 0.30 | ≤ 0.35 |
| Nickel, Ni | ≤ 0.50 | ≤ 0.55 |
| Molybdenum, Mo | ≤ 0.10 | ≤ 0.13 |
| Copper, Cu | ≤ 0.55 | ≤ 0.60 |
Minimum room-temperature values, read against nominal thickness, per EN 10025-3. The original sheet for this grade showed a single line (355 / 470-630 / 20 %) — which understated elongation (it is 22 %, not 20 %) and omitted the thickness ladder and the impact line. Every figure is a floor the heat is tested against, not a prediction of your certificate.
| Thickness (mm) | Yield ReH min (MPa) | Tensile Rm (MPa) |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 16 | 355 | 470 – 630 |
| > 16 – 40 | 345 | 470 – 630 |
| > 40 – 63 | 335 | 470 – 630 |
| > 63 – 80 | 325 | 470 – 630 |
| > 80 – 100 | 315 | 470 – 630 |
| > 100 – 150 | 295 | 450 – 610 |
| > 150 – 200 | 285 | 450 – 610 |
| > 200 – 250 | 265 | 450 – 610 |
Elongation & impact — the properties the old page omitted or understated.
| Property | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Elongation A (longitudinal) | ≥ 22 % up to 63 mm; ≥ 21 % above 63 mm (the old sheet stated 20 %, which is low) |
| Charpy V-notch, longitudinal | -20 °C, ≥ 27 J (the S355N requirement) |
S355N is supplied normalized or normalized-rolled; the order, not the grade, fixes the rest.
| Item | Options |
|---|---|
| Delivery Condition | N — Normalized (usual) Normalized-rolled TMCP available |
| Additional Conditions | UT Charpy V-notch Z15 / Z25 / Z35 Third-party test (SGS) Coated or shot blasted and painting |
| Surface Treatment | As rolled Shot blasted Primed Painted |
What the specification sets, and what has to be added by the order.
| Item | Status in EN 10025-3 | How it is obtained |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery condition | Normalized or normalized-rolled as standard | TMCP can be agreed where a finer grain and lower CEV are wanted; the “N” designation stays correct for normalized supply. |
| Heat treatment | Normalizing is the defined condition | Strength and toughness come from the normalized fine grain plus micro-alloying; re-normalizing is an agreed add-on, not a default. |
| Impact toughness | -20 °C / ≥ 27 J at the “N” grade | Built into the grade; third-party witnessed impact on request. |
| Ultrasonic testing | Not specified | EN 10160 at an agreed acceptance level, by agreement. |
| Through-thickness (Z) properties | Not specified | Z15 / Z25 / Z35 by agreement where the joint pulls through the plate thickness. |
| Third-party inspection | Not specified | SGS, BV, TUV or Intertek at the mill before shipment. |
| Certificate | MTC per the specification | EN 10204 3.1 as standard, 3.2 with third-party endorsement on request. |
Where a fine-grain 355 MPa structural steel carries the load.
Bridge main girders, built-up sections and splice plates — the guaranteed -20 °C impact and the homogeneous fine grain make S355N a natural choice for outdoor and cold-climate heavy construction.
Crane jibs, boom sections and lattice members — applications where -20 °C impact tolerance matters because the structure sees repeated dynamic and lifting loads.
Offshore platform structures, marine and port equipment — fine-grain, weldable 355 MPa plate for structural members in damp, dynamic or cold environments.
Wind-turbine tower sections, nacelle supports and power-plant structures — the normalized fine grain gives the fatigue and toughness behaviour tall, welded towers need.
Construction and mining machinery frames, engineering-vehicle chassis and rail/transport structures — strength with weldability and cold-toughness for mobile and dynamic duty.
From mill plate to a cut, certified, ready-to-fit structural item.
Plate and sheet cut to length and width, profiled to drawing and bevelled for weld preparation on flame, plasma or laser equipment.
Bending and rolling to radius, cold forming to the radius the thickness allows, plus welded assemblies built under a qualified procedure — S355N welds with ordinary consumables; preheat 100–150 °C is advised for thicker or highly restrained joints to avoid hydrogen cracking.
Shot blasting to remove mill scale, then shop primer or full paint system, followed by export marking and seaworthy packing.
Chemical analysis and tensile testing per heat, -20 °C Charpy, UT and Z-direction testing when specified, then the MTC carrying the grade, the EN 10025-3 standard and any third-party report.
Send us your standard (EN 10025-3), material number (1.0545), thickness, width and length, quantity, product form, delivery condition (N / normalized-rolled / TMCP), the -20 °C impact requirement and any UT / Z-direction requirement. We will reply with what the mill can roll and certify at that thickness, plate or cut-length options, mill price and production lead time — and tell you plainly if an as-rolled S355JR / S355J2 would do, or if a severe-cold duty should step up to S355NL or a higher fine-grain grade.
