Grade 350 vs S355

Australia & New Zealand AS/NZS 3678:2016 · Steel

Grade 350

Australian and New Zealand plate grade: 360 MPa yield up to 12 mm, 450 MPa minimum tensile.

Europe EN 10025-2:2019 · Steel

S355

Europe's workhorse structural steel: 355 MPa minimum yield up to 16 mm, 470–630 MPa tensile from 3 to 100 mm.

ApproximateYield bands differ (360 MPa up to 12 mm, then 350 and 340). Minimum tensile 450 MPa, below S355's 470.
