II. Chemical Composition

  • Carbon (C) content ≤ 0.12%. The appropriate carbon content ensures that the steel has sufficient strength without compromising its toughness due to excessive carbon content;

  • Silicon (Si) ≤ 0.50%, which enhances the strength and hardness of the steel;

  • Manganese (Mn) ≤ 1.50%, which increases the strength and hardenability of the steel plate;

  • Phosphorus (P) ≤ 0.025%, which prevents the reduction of the steel's toughness and welding performance;

  • Nickel (Nb) ≤ 0.09%, which avoids reducing the steel's toughness and welding performance;

  • Aluminum (Alt) ≥ 0.015%

  • Vanadium (V) ≤ 0.20%

  • Titanium (Ti) ≤ 0.15%


III. Application Areas

1. Construction Field

The S355MC alloy steel plate, with its high strength, effectively reduces the overall weight of steel beams. Compared to traditional steel materials, while ensuring the bridge's carrying capacity, the weight of the steel beams has been reduced by 12%, significantly reducing the construction cost and difficulty of bridge piers. Moreover, its excellent welding performance enables the construction team to efficiently complete the steel beam assembly work, shortening the construction period of the bridge by 15%, and effectively guaranteeing the smooth progress of the project.


2. Mechanical Manufacturing

A large-scale heavy machinery manufacturing enterprise in China adopted the S355MC alloy steel plate in the manufacturing of the cabin of a new generation of mining dump trucks. The cabin not only reduced its weight by 20%, effectively improving the fuel economy of the vehicle, but also demonstrated excellent performance in resisting impact and wear during the transportation of minerals, with a 30% increase in its service life. The enterprise's manager stated that after using the S355MC alloy steel plate, the product's competitiveness in the international market has significantly improved, and the order volume has increased by 25%.


3. Green Manufacturing

The manufacturing enterprise optimized the smelting process to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in the production process, making the S355MC alloy steel plate not only meet high-performance requirements but also better align with the current sustainable development requirements. According to relevant data, the S355MC alloy steel plate produced using the new process has a 18% reduction in carbon emissions per unit output compared to the previous process, providing strong support for the industry's green transformation.


IV. Notes

1. Processing

During cutting and welding, it is necessary to strictly control the process parameters. If the cutting speed is too fast, the quality of the cut may deteriorate. When welding, it is necessary to select matching welding materials and adjust the welding current and voltage according to the thickness of the steel plate and the welding position to avoid welding defects.


2. Storage

It should be stored in a dry and ventilated environment. It should be kept away from corrosive substances to prevent the steel plate from rusting and affecting its performance.


3. Usage

It is essential to conduct quality inspections on the steel plate, including mechanical property tests and chemical composition analysis, to ensure that it meets the engineering requirements and to prevent potential safety hazards caused by the quality issues of the steel plate.
