Close Alternative — 74.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A276/A276M S44400 (ASTM A276/A276M:2017) and JIS G4305 SUS444 (JIS G4305:2012) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
ASTM A276/A276M S44400 is typically used for stainless steel bars and shapes (hot-finished or cold-finished), while JIS G4305 SUS444 is commonly used for cold-rolled stainless steel plates, sheet and strip.
ASTM A276/A276M S44400 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States, while JIS G4305 SUS444 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan.
As per chemical composition, ASTM A276/A276M S44400 vs JIS G4305 SUS444 is a 87.1% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 50%.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 74.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
