Strong Match — 87% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A959 439 (ASTM A959:2011) and ASTM A959 .- (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
ASTM A959 439 is typically used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1), while ASTM A959 .- is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1).
ASTM A959 439 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States, while ASTM A959 .- is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, ASTM A959 439 vs ASTM A959 .- is a 87% 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 87%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
