What is the material of CR420LA+Z?

CR420LA+Z is a high-strength low-alloy galvanized steel suitable for automotive structural parts, engineering machinery and other fields
CR: Cold Rolled
420: Yield strength ≥ 420MPa (high-strength steel grade)
LA: Low Alloy (containing micro-alloy elements such as Nb/Ti)
+Z: Hot-dip galvanized (Zinc Coated)

CR420LA+Z galvanized steel coil is equivalent to?

Standard system

Equivalent/similar grades

Key differences

China GB/T

CR420LA+Z

Basic benchmark (GB/T 20564.2)

Europe EN

HX420LAD+Z

Slightly higher elongation requirements (EN 10346)

Japan JIS

SGHC 440

More stringent zinc layer control (JIS G 3302)

US ASTM

HSLAS 420 Class 2+Z

Different limits for elements such as P and S (ASTM A653)

International ISO

CR420LA+Z

Basically consistent with the national standard (ISO 16143-2)

(1) Completely equivalent replacement
HX420LAD+Z (European standard): Need to confirm whether the elongation meets the 18% requirement
SGHC 440 (Japanese standard): Suitable for export to Japan, but the cost is +15%
(2) Performance upgrade replacement
CR550LA+Z: Strength increased by 30%, but elongation reduced to 12%
DP500+Z: Suitable for parts requiring higher hole expansion rate
(3) Economical replacement
CR340LA+Z: Strength reduced by 20%, cost -18%
DX54D+Z: Only suitable for non-load-bearing parts
