G350 steel is a structural steel grade to the Australian AS 1397 standard, which is the base material for hot-dip metallic coated steel. Its minimum yield strength is 350 MPa, suitable for roofs and light steel structures.
G350 steel can be applied to a variety of hot dip coatings:
Zinc coating (Z).
Zinc coating converted to zinc/iron alloy (ZF).
Zinc/aluminium (ZA).
Zinc/aluminium/magnesium (ZM).
Aluminium/zinc (AZ)
Aluminium/zinc/magnesium (AM).
