S355K2H
S355K2H
S355K2H structural steel pipes are often used in structural and civil engineering, as well as in the construction sector. It is a low alloy high strength steel with good shape and impact toughness that is primarily used in the manufacture of bridges, ships, vehicles, boilers, high-pressure vessels, oil and gas pipelines, power station equipment, lifting transport institutions, large steel structures, and other similar items. Use it to replace regular carbon steel, considerably reducing the weight of the construction, and ensuring the use of dependable, long-lasting materials.
Numerous designations are assigned in accordance with EN 10210. For instance,
- The symbol K in combination with either numerical i.e. 0 or 2, would mean that the specific impact properties of EN 10219 S355K2H Steel Pipeat specific temperature points of 0℃ and – 40℃ apiece.
- The letter H is a designation intended for hollow sectioned products like the S355K2H Pipe.
- The other designation that touches the base with regards to its application is the letter S, which is a typical feature of structural steel.

Weldability of EN 10219 S355K2H Pipe
This European standard only allows for the use of weldable steel. EN 1011-1 and EN 1011-2 specify the critical parameters for the welding of the products covered by this European standard.
While welding these materials, the primary worry is the development of cold cracking in the welded zone as the product’s thickness, strength level, and CEV grows. Cold cracking happens for a variety of reasons:
- Enhanced diffusible hydrogen concentrations in the weld metal;
- Brittle structure in the heat-affected zone;
- High tensile stress concentrations in the welded joint
