Close Alternative — 73.5% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10346 S350GD (EN 10346:2015) and CSA G40.21 350W (CSA G40.21-13 (R2023)) 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 CSA G40.21 350W is commonly used for used in buildings, bridges, cranes, transmission towers, heavy equipment, and structural fabrications..
EN 10346 S350GD is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while CSA G40.21 350W is defined under Canadian Standards Association (CSA), originating from Canada.
As per chemical composition, EN 10346 S350GD vs CSA G40.21 350W 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.
