Close Alternative — 72.5% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10087 11SMn30 (EN 10087:1998) and JIS G4804 SUM22L (JIS G 4804:2021) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Free Machining Steel category.
EN 10087 11SMn30 is typically used for high volume screw machine parts, bolts, studs, while JIS G4804 SUM22L is commonly used for complex precision turned parts, high speed machining.
EN 10087 11SMn30 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while JIS G4804 SUM22L is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan.
As per chemical composition, EN 10087 11SMn30 vs JIS G4804 SUM22L is a 83.7% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 50%.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 72.5%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
