Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10025-5 S235J2W (EN 10025-5:2019) and JIS G3114 SMA400 (JIS G 3114:2022) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Structural Steel (Corten / Weathering) category.
EN 10025-5 S235J2W is typically used for weathering (atmospheric corrosion-resistant) structural steel; bridges, railway wagons, shipping containers, transmission towers, outdoor structures exposed without protective coating, while JIS G3114 SMA400 is commonly used for used in bridges, transmission towers, railway wagons, containers, and structural frameworks..
EN 10025-5 S235J2W is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while JIS G3114 SMA400 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan.
As per chemical composition, EN 10025-5 S235J2W vs JIS G3114 SMA400 is a 72.5% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 20.4%.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 35%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
