S315MC
1.0972Entry-level HSLA hot-rolled steel for cold forming. The lowest strength grade in the EN 10149-2 TMCP series. Good formability with guaranteed 315 MPa yield. Used for lighter-duty truck components, agricultural equipment, structural profiles, and cold-formed sections where S235/S275 is insufficient.
