Close Alternative — 77.2% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GB/T 8731 Y35 (GB/T 8731-2025) and SAE J403 1126 (SAE J403:2009) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Free Machining Steel category.
GB/T 8731 Y35 is typically used for used for screws, nuts, fittings, precision turned parts, bushings, and automatic lathe components., while SAE J403 1126 is commonly used for chemistry-only grade; product scope as listed in the composition notes.
GB/T 8731 Y35 is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China, while SAE J403 1126 is defined under SAE International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, GB/T 8731 Y35 vs SAE J403 1126 is a 77.2% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 77.2%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
