Related Material — 65.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10346 S450GD (EN 10346:2015) and CSA G40.21 480W (CSA G40.21-13 (R2023)) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Structural Steel category.
EN 10346 S450GD is typically used for higher-strength continuous hot-dip galvanized structural steel strip/sheet; roll-formed and cold-formed high-strength structural sections, purlins, roofing and cladding requiring corrosion protection, while CSA G40.21 480W is commonly used for heavy cranes, offshore structures, high-rise building frames, pressure vessels, heavy mining equipment..
EN 10346 S450GD is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while CSA G40.21 480W is defined under Canadian Standards Association (CSA), originating from Canada.
As per chemical composition, EN 10346 S450GD vs CSA G40.21 480W is a 98.6% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 0%.
Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 65.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
