• Molybdenum (Mo): ≤ 0.08%
• Copper (Cu): ≤ 0.30%

Mechanical Properties:
The mechanical properties of P355NH are crucial for its application in pressure vessels. The following are the typical mechanical properties:

• Yield Strength: ≥ 355 MPa
• Tensile Strength: 490 - 630 MPa
• Elongation: ≥ 22%
• Impact Energy (at -20°C): ≥ 40 Joules

Heat Treatment Conditions:
P355NH steel plates are generally supplied in the normalized condition. Normalizing is a heat treatment process that improves the mechanical properties of the steel, especially its toughness and ductility. The steel is heated to a temperature above its upper critical point and then cooled in air.
Low-Temperature Impact Test:
The low-temperature impact test is a critical requirement for materials used in pressure vessels operating at low temperatures. P355NH steel plates are subjected to impact testing at -20°C, ensuring that the material maintains its toughness and impact resistance at low temperatures.

• Thickness: 6mm - 300mm
• Width: 1500mm - 4020mm
• Length: 3000mm - 18000mm

Primary Applications:
The excellent properties of P355NH make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Pressure Vessels
• Boilers
• Heat Exchangers
• Storage Tanks
• Columns and Towers
• Reactors
