Ympress Laser E355C+N, also known as S355J2C+N in accordance with DIN EN 10025-2, is a specially developed steel grade that has been optimally adapted to the requirements of laser cutting. With its outstanding flatness, high strength and excellent machinability, this steel not only offers ideal conditions for efficient cutting processes, but also for downstream cold forming and further processing.

The Ympress Laser E355C+N is characterized by a consistent and optimized chemical composition, which leads to an improved purity of the steel. This enables precise and clean cutting edges, which is essential for automated production processes. In addition, this steel has a high toughness that retains its mechanical properties even at low temperatures.

With a minimum yield strength of 355 MPa (megapascals) and good weldability, Ympress Laser E355C+N offers numerous advantages in the manufacture of load-bearing structures that require high strength and load-bearing capacity. The toughness of this steel is improved by normalization (the “+N” in the material code), resulting in a uniform microstructure and increased fatigue strength.

The decisive advantage of the Ympress Laser E355C+N lies in its specially tuned surface quality. This not only guarantees a uniform material thickness, but also ensures a smooth cutting process for high-speed laser cutting machines. The tight tolerance of the material thickness significantly improves the precision of the cutting process, minimizing waste and optimizing material utilization.

Ympress Laser E355C+N is also equipped with a smooth, low-oxide surface that enables a clean and burr-free cutting edge. This reduces the need for reworking and ensures greater efficiency in production. The homogeneity of the material ensures consistent quality even in demanding cutting processes, which is particularly beneficial for automated production lines.

Thanks to its combination of high strength and excellent machinability, the Ympress Laser E355C+N is suitable for a wide range of applications in various industries. It is frequently used in the automotive industry, in mechanical engineering, in the manufacture of construction machinery and in the construction industry. This steel offers considerable advantages, particularly in the production of load-bearing structures where high tensile strength is required.

The high toughness and resistance to impact stress at low temperatures also make Ympress Laser E355C+N ideal for use in demanding environments, such as those found in steel construction or in the manufacture of offshore equipment. The material’s excellent weldability also plays an important role here, as it facilitates the production of complex assemblies and reduces process costs.

Ympress Laser E355C+N is not only a high-performance steel, but also a sustainable choice. Its optimized composition and consistently high quality reduces material usage, resulting in a higher yield per tonne. The minimized scrap and reduced need for reworking help to reduce the environmental footprint in production. In addition, steel is fully recyclable, making Ympress Laser E355C+N an environmentally friendly choice for modern manufacturing processes.

Ympress Laser E355C+N is always supplied with a 3.1 certificate that proves compliance with the required specifications. For construction projects where a particularly high level of safety is required, the steel is provided with a CE mark in accordance with European standards. These certifications not only guarantee the quality of the steel, but also provide complete traceability of production, which is particularly important for safety-critical applications.

Ympress Laser E355C+N is a grade S355J2C+N steel that has been specially developed for laser cutting.
