Close Alternative — 78.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GOST 4543 40HFA (GOST 4543-2016) and SAE J404 5130 (SAE J404:2009) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
GOST 4543 40HFA is typically used for used for springs, shafts, gears, fasteners, and aircraft structural components., while SAE J404 5130 is commonly used for chemistry-only alloy steel grade; see the composition notes for product scope.
SAE J404 5130 is defined under SAE International (United States).
As per chemical composition, GOST 4543 40HFA vs SAE J404 5130 is a 78.7% 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 78.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
