Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GOST 380 St3ps (GOST 380-2005) and CSA G40.21 400W (CSA G40.21-13 (R2023)) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Structural Steel category.
GOST 380 St3ps is typically used for structural steelwork, welded assemblies, construction materials, plates, bars, channels, while CSA G40.21 400W is commonly used for heavy structural fabrication, bridges, offshore platforms, cranes, pressure vessels, mining equipment..
CSA G40.21 400W is defined under Canadian Standards Association (CSA) (Canada).
As per chemical composition, GOST 380 St3ps vs CSA G40.21 400W is a 67.1% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 0%.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 35%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
