Hot-dip galvanized steel S280GD in accordance with the EN 10346 standard is a high-quality structural steel that has been specially developed for use in structural engineering and building construction. With the material number 1.0244, S280GD has a minimum yield strength Rp0.2 of 280 N/mm² and thus joins the higher strength classes of galvanized structural steels. Hot-dip galvanizing in accordance with EN 10346 guarantees a uniform zinc coating on the steel surface, which effectively protects the base material against corrosion. Thanks to the various coating systems (+Z, +ZF, +ZA, +ZM, +AZ and +AS), the material can be precisely adapted to different climatic and mechanical stresses.
Properties
S280GD impresses with a balanced combination of high strength and good formability. The minimum yield strength Rp0.2 of 280 N/mm² and a characteristic tensile strength of at least 360 N/mm² ensure reliable load-bearing capacity even under dynamic load conditions. At the same time, the hot-dip galvanized surface enables an extended service life in corrosive environments.
The different cover variants offer specific advantages:
S280GD is also characterized by its good weldability, homogeneous microstructure and reliable dimensional stability, which ensures precise further processing in profiling, bending and welding processes.
Applications
S280GD is used in a wide range of construction applications where high load-bearing capacity and long-lasting corrosion protection are required. Typical areas of application are
Thanks to the flexible overlay options, maintenance intervals can be extended and overall operating costs reduced, making the S280GD an economically attractive solution for modern construction projects.
Conclusion
The hot-dip galvanized steel S280GD in accordance with EN 10346 combines a high minimum yield strength of 280 N/mm² with first-class corrosion protection and excellent ease of processing. With its wide range of coating variants, it covers a broad spectrum of environmental and operating conditions – from moderate to extremely corrosive or thermally stressed environments. Whether roof and façade systems, drainage components or lightweight steel structures: S280GD offers construction companies and planners a durable, reliable and economical material solution for demanding construction projects.
