Close Alternative — 73.3% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10025-3 S460 (EN 10025-3:2019) and CSA G40.21 400W (CSA G40.21-13 (R2023)) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Structural Steel category.
EN 10025-3 S460 is typically used for used in structural frameworks, lifting equipment, pressure-support structures, transport chassis, and construction machinery., while CSA G40.21 400W is commonly used for heavy structural fabrication, bridges, offshore platforms, cranes, pressure vessels, mining equipment..
EN 10025-3 S460 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while CSA G40.21 400W is defined under Canadian Standards Association (CSA), originating from Canada.
As per chemical composition, EN 10025-3 S460 vs CSA G40.21 400W is a 91.3% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 37.5%.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 73.3%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
