What is the difference between S355JR steel and S355MC steel?

S355JR: Primarily used in structural applications like bridges, buildings, and other heavy construction.

S355MC: More suited for applications that require higher strength and formability, such as in the automotive industry for chassis and other structural parts.

S355JR: Typically not heat-treated beyond normalizing.

S355MC: May undergo specific processes like quenching and tempering to achieve desired mechanical properties.

What is S355MC steel?

EN 10149-2 S355MC is a high-strength low-alloy steel coil that is commonly used in the automotive industry for manufacturing structural parts and components.

What is the material equivalent of S355MC?

S355MC has equivalents in other standards, including German DIN QStE360TM, Japanese JIS SPFH540, and the VDA equivalent HR340LA. Various suppliers also offer dual-certified products, such as SSAB's Domex 355MC, which meets the S355MC standard.

What is the difference between s355j2 and S355MC?

S355MC and S355J2 are both structural steel grades, but they differ in their production standards and intended applications. S355MC is a thermomechanically rolled steel under the EN 10149-2 standard, specifically designed for cold forming and the automotive industry, while S355J2 follows the EN 10025-2 standard and is known for its excellent impact toughness, with impact tests conducted at low temperatures (typically -20°C).

What is the yield strength of S355MC material?

355 MPa

Thanks to its fine-grained microstructure and high degree of purity, grade S355MC is well suited for cold bending, folding and cold flanging without cracking. The name of grade S355MC refers to its upper yield strength. This is 355 MPa.
