1. Introduction
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP / dbox Studio
HISTAR 355
fulfils the requirements of
1) ETA-10/0156 (t 125 mm)
2) EN 10025-4:2004 for S355M
HISTAR 355 TZ OS
fulfils the requirements of
EN 10225:2009 for S355G11+M
HISTAR steels are delivered in the thermomechanically rolled condition in accordance with
the European Technical Approval ETA-10/0156.
They comply with the requirements of the
European standards EN 10025-4:2004
for weldable fine grain structural steels and
EN 10225:2009 for weldable structural
steels for fixed offshore structures. They
also comply with other national standards
like ASTM A 913-11 and JIS G 3106:2008.
Table 1 shows a comparison, based on yield
strength, between HISTAR and other standard
structural steel grades. HISTAR grades are
compatible with the requirements of the
Eurocodes for the design of steel structures
and composite steel-concrete structures.
The HISTAR grades for offshore applications
offer the following additional features:
improved deformation properties in
through thickness direction with respect
to the resistance to lamellar tearing
(Z qualities).
notch impact properties in
transverse direction.
maximum ratio between yield
strength and tensile strength.

(1) Through thickness testing upon agreement. Mean value of 3 tests. Only for t >15mm.
(2) Mean value of three tests for full size specimens with no single value less than 70 % of the guaranteed average value. The provisions according to EN 10225: 2009 are applicable.
(3) Tested upon agreement.
(4) For thickness 25 mm, Charpy V test at -20C
2. Design advantages
For thicknesses larger than 16mm the
minimum yield strength ReH and the ultimate
strength Rm of HISTAR steels are greater than
those specified in EN 10025-4 (Figure 1).
Lower imperfections of S460 high strength
steels are reflected in EN 1993-1-1 in lower
imperfection factors and more favorable
buckling curves. The same applies to HISTAR
460 (Design example and tables given
in Chapter 4. Column design tables).
3. Advantages in fabrication
The chemical analysis (Table 3) of HISTAR
steels differs from the analysis specified in
EN 10025-4. This results in a lower carbon
equivalent value (CEV) and thus a better
weldability of HISTAR steels compared to
conventional steel grades (Figure 8). No or
less preheating before welding is required
for HISTAR steel grades (Details given in
Chapter 5. Fabrication guidelines).

4. Material toughness
HISTAR steels rank in the same good toughness
level than thermomechanical rolled steels
according to EN10025-4. Consequently
the following steel grades have the same
maximum permissible flange thickness
according to EN1993-1-10, Table 2.1:
HISTAR355 and S355M (idem S355K2)
HISTAR355L and S355ML
HISTAR460 and S460M
HISTAR460L and S460ML
Additionally, as web-to-flange connections
of sections in HISTAR steels are hot-rolled
and not welded, the thickness limitations given
in the rules of EN1993-1-10 do not apply.
Generally, if applicable and depending
on the reference temperature and the
reference stress level, HISTAR steel grades
enable the use of heavy sections for safer
and more reliable steel structures.
5. Application examples
Sections in HISTAR steel grade have economical
advantages to sections in conventional steel
grades under compression, tension and bending.
Complicated and expensive built-up sections can
be substituted by economical hot rolled beams.
The reduced weight achieved with HISTAR
steels compared to conventional steels leads to
reduced cost for material, finishing and assembly.

High strength HISTAR grades allow, in comparison with conventional structural steels, to
reduce the weight and material costs of steel
structures, and to cut welding and assembly
time (see Figures 2,3 and 4).
