Difference between P355ML1 and P355ML2 steel plate

Dec 02, 2025 Leave a message

The main difference between P355ML1 and P355ML2 steel is the minimum impact energy requirement, with P355ML2 requiring a higher level of impact toughness at lower temperatures than P355ML1. This is because P355ML2 is specifically designed for low-temperature applications, such as pressure vessels, while P355ML1 is a general-purpose steel grade with a less stringent requirement for its impact properties.
