Related Material — 62.5% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10346 S350GD (EN 10346:2015) and CSA G40.21 400A (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 400A is commonly used for atmospheric corrosion-resistant (weathering) structural steel; exposed bridge girders and structural members where high strength and weathering resistance are both needed.
EN 10346 S350GD is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while CSA G40.21 400A is defined under Canadian Standards Association (CSA), originating from Canada.
As per chemical composition, EN 10346 S350GD vs CSA G40.21 400A is a 93.8% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 0%.
Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 62.5%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
