Strong Match — 93% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
CSA G40.21 350W (CSA G40.21-13 (R2023)) and AS/NZS 3679.1 350 (AS/NZS 3679.1:2016) 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 3679.1 350 is commonly used for hot-rolled structural bars and sections for primary structural beams, columns, and framing.
CSA G40.21 350W is defined under Canadian Standards Association (CSA), originating from Canada, while AS/NZS 3679.1 350 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 3679.1 350 is a 93.8% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 91.2%.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 93%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
