EN 10025-2 E355 Steel Plate | E355 Structural Steel
What is EN 10025-2 E355 Steel Plate?
As a professional steel plate supplier and China Mill-Direct Exporter, SHH STEEL is pleased to present EN 10025-2 E355 Steel Plate (Material Number: 1.0060).
E355 is a non-alloy structural steel under the European standard EN 10025-2. It provides a minimum yield strength of 355 MPa (for thickness ≤ 16 mm) and is positioned as a higher-strength option compared with E295. This grade is suitable for general structural and engineering applications where moderate-to-high strength is required. SHH STEEL sources this material directly from leading Chinese steel mills, ensuring competitive mill-direct pricing, stable quality and reliable delivery.
We supply E355 steel plate in thicknesses from 6 mm to 150 mm (thicker plates available on request), widths up to 3000–4000 mm, and lengths up to 12000–18000 mm. Custom cutting, shot blasting and priming services are available. All plates are delivered with full Mill Test Certificates (EN 10204 3.1).

Delivery Conditions
SHH STEEL, as a China Mill-Direct Supplier, supplies EN 10025-2 E355 steel plate mainly in the following conditions:
- +AR (As-rolled) – most common
- +N (Normalized) – available on request
Additional options:
- Shot blasting and shop primer
- Ultrasonic testing (EN 10160)
- Third-party inspection (SGS, BV, TUV, etc.)
Tolerances
Dimensional tolerances for E355 steel plate follow EN 10029 (for plates) or EN 10051 (for strips).
- Thickness, width and length tolerances according to the ordered class.
- Flatness according to EN 10029.
- Edge conditions: Mill edge or cut edge (flame / plasma).
Tighter tolerances can be provided upon request.
Weldability
E355 has good weldability for a higher-strength non-alloy structural steel. It can be welded using conventional methods including SMAW, GMAW (MIG/MAG), FCAW and SAW.
Recommended welding consumables:
| Welding Process | Recommended Consumables |
|---|---|
| SMAW (Stick) | E7018, E7016 |
| GMAW (MIG/MAG) | ER70S-6 |
| FCAW | E71T-1, E71T-1C |
| SAW | EM12K + suitable flux |
Notes:
- Low-hydrogen consumables are recommended.
- Preheating may be required for thicker plates (typically above 25–30 mm) depending on carbon equivalent and joint design.
- Interpass temperature should be controlled.
- Proper cleaning of the weld area is important to avoid defects.
