How strong is the heat resistance of S350GD hot-dip galvanized steel?

Jan 26, 2026

Hot-dip galvanized steel

 

Hot-dip galvanized steel S350GD in accordance with EN 10346 is a high-performance solution for modern construction projects where high strength, good formability and long-term corrosion protection are required. With a minimum yield strength of 350 N/mm² and a tensile strength of at least 420 N/mm², S350GD ensures maximum load-bearing capacity even under extreme conditions. The six available coating types allow precise adaptation to a wide range of environmental and application scenarios – from temperate interiors to aggressive coastal regions or thermally stressed components. Construction companies and planners thus benefit from a durable, economical and technically mature material solution that meets the increasing demands of structural steel construction.

 

Want to know the difference between S350GD and other galvanized steel grades? GNEE STEEL's technical team is here to help. We'll break down the mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and ideal applications of S350GD, so you can make an informed decision for your project.

Heat Resistance

 

Property/Limit Temperature (°C) Temperature (°F) Remarks
Max Continuous Service Temp 200 °C 392 °F Above this, properties may degrade
Max Intermittent Service Temp 250 °C 482 °F Short-term exposure acceptable
Scaling Temperature 300 °C 572 °F Risk of oxidation increases

 

At elevated temperatures, S350GD steel maintains its mechanical properties up to a certain limit. Beyond 200 °C, the risk of oxidation and loss of strength increases, making it unsuitable for high-temperature applications without special considerations.

Features

 

S350GD galvanized steel sheets/plates could bring the following benefits to your project:

 

Corrosion-Resistant – The zinc coating helps protect against rust, perfect for outdoor and humid environments.

Strong & Durable – 350 MPa yield strength, built to handle heavy loads and tough conditions.

Long-Lasting – Its corrosion resistance keeps going longer, cutting down on maintenance costs.

Easy to Work With – Simple to cut, bend, and weld, so it's ideal for various manufacturing processes.

Versatile – Used across industries like construction, automotive, and appliances.

Flexible Processing – Works well for both cold and hot forming, giving you more production options.

Light but Tough – Strong yet lightweight, great for applications where you need strength without the extra weight.
