Strong Match — 93.3% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A240/A240M S43000 (ASTM A240/A240M:2025) and JIS G4304 SUS429 (JIS G4304:2021) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
ASTM A240/A240M S43000 is typically used for pressure vessels and general applications (plate, sheet and strip), while JIS G4304 SUS429 is commonly used for hot-rolled stainless steel plates and strips.
ASTM A240/A240M S43000 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States, while JIS G4304 SUS429 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan.
As per chemical composition, ASTM A240/A240M S43000 vs JIS G4304 SUS429 is a 90% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 100%.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 93.3%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
