Strong Match — 97.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10346 S350GD (EN 10346:2015) and AS/NZS 3678 Grade 450 (AS/NZS 3678:2016) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Structural Steel category.
EN 10346 S350GD is typically used for continuous hot-dip galvanized structural steel strip/sheet; roll-formed and cold-formed structural sections, purlins, roofing and cladding requiring corrosion protection, while AS/NZS 3678 Grade 450 is commonly used for heavy cranes, offshore platforms, pressure vessels, structural members in high-rise construction, mining equipment..
EN 10346 S350GD is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while AS/NZS 3678 Grade 450 is defined under Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS), originating from Australia/New Zealand.
As per chemical composition, EN 10346 S350GD vs AS/NZS 3678 Grade 450 is a 97.7% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 97.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
