Close Alternative — 77.4% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10346 S350GD (EN 10346:2015) and ASTM A1008 SS Grade 50 (ASTM A1008) 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 ASTM A1008 SS Grade 50 is commonly used for cold-rolled high-strength structural steel sheet; automotive structural components, cold-formed parts requiring moderate strength.
EN 10346 S350GD is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while ASTM A1008 SS Grade 50 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, EN 10346 S350GD vs ASTM A1008 SS Grade 50 is a 99.4% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 33.3%.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 77.4%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
