Related Material — 67.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GOST 5950 9HVG (GOST 5950-2000) and JIS G4404 SKS31 (JIS G4404:2006) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Tool & Die Steels category.
GOST 5950 9HVG is typically used for used for broaches, taps, dies, punches, and precision cutting tools., while JIS G4404 SKS31 is commonly used for cold working molds, press dies, jigs, gauges, long taps, reamers, measuring tools requiring minimal quenching distortion..
JIS G4404 SKS31 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) (Japan).
As per chemical composition, GOST 5950 9HVG vs JIS G4404 SKS31 is a 77.3% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 48.6%.
Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 67.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
