Close Alternative — 73.5% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
CSA G40.21 350W (CSA G40.21-13 (R2023)) and AS/NZS 1595 C350 (AS/NZS 1595:1998) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Structural Steel category.
CSA G40.21 350W is typically used for used in buildings, bridges, cranes, transmission towers, heavy equipment, and structural fabrications., while AS/NZS 1595 C350 is commonly used for cold-rolled structural steel sheet; roll-forming, cold-formed structural sections, purlins.
CSA G40.21 350W is defined under Canadian Standards Association (CSA), originating from Canada, while AS/NZS 1595 C350 is defined under Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS), originating from Australia/New Zealand.
As per chemical composition, CSA G40.21 350W vs AS/NZS 1595 C350 is a 93.5% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 33.3%.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 73.5%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
