Differences

Strength grade

240 grade (yield 240-320MPa)

340 grade (yield 340-420MPa)

340LA has a 40% increase in strength

Tensile strength

340-420MPa

410-510MPa

Higher load-bearing capacity

Alloy composition

contains trace amounts of Nb/V

Higher Mn, Nb/V addition

More strengthening elements in 340LA

Typical applications

home appliance housing/lightweight structural parts

Automobile anti-collision beam/heavy-duty shelf

340LA is used for high-stress components

Stamping difficulty

ordinary punch press (300T)

Requires large tonnage punch press (≥500T)

340LA requires higher equipment investment

Coating suitability

suitable for Z60-Z100

Recommended Z80-Z140 (high-strength substrate requires thicker coating)

Different anti-corrosion requirements

 

 

Is CR340LA+Z galvanized steel coil material good?

CR340LA+Z steel has:

High strength: yield strength 340-420 MPa, tensile strength 410-510 MPa, 40%+ higher load-bearing capacity than ordinary galvanized steel (such as DX51D)
Good formability: elongation ≥22%, suitable for medium-complexity stamping and bending processing
Long-term corrosion protection: hot-dip galvanized layer (Z80-Z140 optional), salt spray test 1000+ hours without red rust
Lightweight advantage: can be thinned by 20%-25% to replace traditional steel and reduce material costs
Environmental protection process: support chromium-free passivation (RoHS compliance), meet environmental protection requirements

 

galvanized steel coil

 

CR340LA+Z material grade?

It belongs to high-strength low-alloy steel (HSLA) and its strength level is between commercial grade (such as DX51D) and ultra-high-strength steel (such as CR420LA).

 

 

CR340LA+Z galvanized steel coil is used for?

Automobile: B-pillar reinforcements, chassis parts (must comply with IIHS/CNCAP collision standards)

Construction: load-bearing shelves, steel structure connectors (must meet GB 50017 load requirements)

Home appliances: high-end washing machine drums (must pass 10-year salt spray test)
