Strong Match — 97.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10025-3 S420JR (EN 10025-3:2019) and AS/NZS Grade 500 (AS/NZS 3597:2008) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Structural Steel category.
EN 10025-3 S420JR is typically used for used in bridges, heavy machinery frames, structural beams, offshore structures, and crane components., while AS/NZS Grade 500 is commonly used for heavy mining equipment, bulldozer blades, wear-resistant structural applications, large crane booms, offshore jackets..
EN 10025-3 S420JR is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while AS/NZS Grade 500 is defined under Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS), originating from Australia/New Zealand.
As per chemical composition, EN 10025-3 S420JR vs AS/NZS Grade 500 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.
