Steel grade

S355J2 All

General Information

S355J2 is a micro alloyed structural steel suitable for e.g. mechanical engineering applications. The steel posess a good weldability
with max CEV =0.47 for all variants. The steel may be delivered with a controlled silicon content for good galvanazing properties. Below,
a number of closely related variants with various impact strength are presented.

Variant SB9813 is delivered with a closely controlled C-content for predictable properties and with a CEV value of max 0.41.

Variant S355J2(M) is a M-treated variant

Variant S355K2 and S355L4 both show good Impact toughness

Variant 285K is a variant of 520M

Variant 520M is a M-steel variant of S355J2

Variant 550M is a drawn or peeled version of S355J2

M-Steel®

The basis for the concept is that non-metallic inclusions are modified and controlled with calcium
treatment in a way to minimize tool wear and to maximize chip control in machining operations. Our
M-Steel treatment can be applied to any steel grade.

SUSTAINABILITY-ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DATA
At Ovako sustainability and reduction of our environmental impact is a major focus in everything we
do.
Further information is found here.

In many international comparisons the crude steel Scope 1-2 emission is a key parameter,
ie. the CO2 emission from the steel works itself.
As of 1 January 2022 we carbon offset all our scope 1 and 2 volume shown below.

Steel works Hofors Smedjebacken Imatra

CO2e/kg 120 62 76

To get the full picture of our products environmental impact we have to look at all of our CO2 emission
sources.
Not only the steel work Scope 1-2 itself, but all operations downstream in our production, heating and
heat treatment furnaces etc (full scope 1-2) as well as all the emission from input material, eg. alloys,
scope 3.

As of 1 January 2022 we use carbon offset for all our scope 1- 2 emissions, so in practice the climate
compensated data is the same as the full Scope 3 level.
All above data are to be seen as typical values for the specified format and condition. Detailed
