What is the material of S350GD+Z steel coil?

S350GD+Z steel coil is a hot-dip galvanized high-strength structural steel that complies with European standards (EN 10346)
S350GD

S: Structural Steel
350: Minimum yield strength is 350 MPa (megapascals)
GD: Galvanized by Hot-Dip (hot-dip galvanizing process).
+Z: Indicates that the galvanized layer has been passivated (Passivation), usually using chromate or chromium-free passivation to enhance rust resistance and surface adhesion.
Yield Strength: ≥350 MPa
Tensile Strength: 420~510 MPa (specific values ​​refer to the standard)
Elongation: ≥18%~22% (related to thickness)

What is S350GD+Z galvanized steel coil equivalent to?

Standard/Region

Approximate brand

Description

Europe (EN)

S350GD+Z (EN 10346)

Directly corresponds to the original standard

China (GB)

DX51D+Z (GB/T 2518)

Similar to galvanized structural steel, but strength matching needs to be confirmed

USA (ASTM)

A653 SS350 (ASTM A653)

Galvanized steel, similar strength, but different standard system

Japan (JIS)

SGCC (JIS G 3302)

General purpose galvanized steel, additional strength requirements need to be confirmed

When replacing, it is necessary to check the coating thickness, surface treatment (such as Z = passivation) and mechanical properties parameters required by the project.

 

 

What is the application field of S350GD+Z steel?

Industry

Application scenarios

Recommended configuration

Construction

Steel structure roof/wall (span ≤ 8m)

Z140 coating + smooth surface

Automotive

Truck compartment floor/bracket

Z180 coating + chromate passivation

Machinery

Storage shelves/conveyor rails

Z100 coating + anti-fingerprint treatment

 

 

What is the difference between S350GD+Z Hot dip galvanized steel and DX51D?

Comparison items

S350GD+Z steel

DX51D galvanized steel

Material category

High-strength structural steel

Ordinary commercial steel (mild steel)

Yield strength

≥350 MPa

140~240 MPa

Tensile strength

420~510 MPa

270~330 MPa

Elongation

≥18%~22% (thickness related)

≥22%~26% (easier to form)

Coating code

Usually Z100~Z275 (double-sided coating, higher corrosion resistance)

Common Z60~Z180 (thinner coating)

Surface treatment

+Z (forced passivation treatment, stronger rust prevention)

Optional passivation (+Z), oiling (+O) or no treatment

Implementation standard

EN 10346 (European standard), similar to GB/T 2518's S350GD+Z

EN 10346 (European standard), GB/T 2518 (national standard)

Typical application

Building load-bearing structures, automobile chassis, industrial brackets

Roof walls, home appliance housings, ventilation ducts

Mechanical performance requirements

Strictly meet high strength and high load requirements

Focus on formability and surface quality

Applicable environment

Harsh environment with high load and corrosion resistance

Light load, general anti-corrosion needs

S350GD+Z is a high-strength steel suitable for load-bearing structures. It has a thicker coating and forced passivation, is more corrosion-resistant, and has a higher price. DX51D is an ordinary soft steel suitable for lightweight applications.
