Related Material — 64.5% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G3114 SMA400 (JIS G 3114:2022) and ASTM A959 630 (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
JIS G3114 SMA400 is classified under Structural Steel (Corten / Weathering), while ASTM A959 630 is classified under Stainless Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below.
JIS G3114 SMA400 is typically used for used in bridges, transmission towers, railway wagons, containers, and structural frameworks., while ASTM A959 630 is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1).
JIS G3114 SMA400 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while ASTM A959 630 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, JIS G3114 SMA400 vs ASTM A959 630 is a 64.5% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 64.5%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
