Strong Match — 97.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
AS/NZS 3678 Grade 450 (AS/NZS 3678:2016) and EN 10025-3 S420JR (EN 10025-3:2019) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Structural Steel category.
AS/NZS 3678 Grade 450 is typically used for heavy cranes, offshore platforms, pressure vessels, structural members in high-rise construction, mining equipment., while EN 10025-3 S420JR is commonly used for used in bridges, heavy machinery frames, structural beams, offshore structures, and crane components..
AS/NZS 3678 Grade 450 is defined under Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS), originating from Australia/New Zealand, while EN 10025-3 S420JR is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, AS/NZS 3678 Grade 450 vs EN 10025-3 S420JR is a 97.7% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 97.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
