Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10025-5 S355J2WP (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 S355J2WP is typically used for high-phosphorus weathering steel for enhanced patina formation, improved low-temperature toughness; containers, smokestacks, freight wagons, silos, pylons, bridges, architectural exposed structures, while JIS G3114 SMA400 is commonly used for used in bridges, transmission towers, railway wagons, containers, and structural frameworks..
EN 10025-5 S355J2WP 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 S355J2WP vs JIS G3114 SMA400 is a 75.4% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 10.1%.
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.
