Related Material — 64.6% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A959 XM-13 (ASTM A959:2011) and JIS G4303 SUS316 (JIS G4303:2021) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
ASTM A959 XM-13 is typically used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1), while JIS G4303 SUS316 is commonly used for marine applications, chemical processing, pharmaceutical equipment.
ASTM A959 XM-13 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States, while JIS G4303 SUS316 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan.
As per chemical composition, ASTM A959 XM-13 vs JIS G4303 SUS316 is a 64.6% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 64.6%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
