Industeel®S355G10+N
Industeel®S355G10+N : a weldable normalized structural steel
for large offshore structures with excellent toughness and weldability
Industeel®S355G10+N is a normalized structural steel plate grade with a nominal minimum yield strength of
325MPa* dedicated to large offshore structures in the North Sea and similar environments.
Thanks to the application of Option 18 of EN10225, the weldability of the steel is prequalified with a documentary
file that has been reviewed by DNV-GL and Lloyd’s Register, making its implementation easier.
Its extreme purity with very low sulphur and phosphorus contents, as well as its adapted chemical analysis, makes
Industeel®S355G10+N easy to cut, shape and weld, and provides excellent impact toughness and CTOD properties
in the very large sizes available.
Industeel®S355G10+N is elaborated through Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) melting of selected scraps with fine grain
practice, vacuum treatment and ingot casting to provide the necessary characteristics of the material.
The steel is rolled in plates with a quarto mill and finished using a separate normalizing heat treatment.
* 1MPa = 1N/mm2
PROPERTIES
STANDARD

Please enquire for advice if requested.
WELDING
The weldability of Industeel®S355G10+N is excellent thanks to its balanced chemical composition.
The weldability has been prequalified according to EN10225:2009 annexes E, F and G according to Option 18:
Weldability testing according to annex E
Cross weld tensile tests and Charpy V notch impact tests at -40°C fulfill the requirements of the standard.
Eighteen 250mm thick CTOD tests have also been performed to check NORSOK MDS-Y20 requirements at -10°C.
Bead on plate tests (BOP) according to annex F
Maximum hardness is below the required 325HV10
Controlled Thermal Severity test (CTS) according to annex G
No cracking has been observed after preheating at 50°C.
Welding processes
Conventional fusion welding methods can be used, such as submerged arc welding (SAW), flux cored wire arc welding
(FCAW), metal cored arc welding (MCAW), shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), GMAW and GTAW.
Preheating at 125°C is recommended and interpass temperature should be limited to a maximum of 250°C.
A maximum heat input of 3,5kJ/mm should be observed to achieve good properties in the weld metal.
A Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) at 580°C +/-10°C for 1hour per 25mm thickness is appropriate.
Welding consumables
Fluxes should be re-dried at 300-350°C for minimum 2 hours and stored at 150°C until used.
