Related Material — 63.4% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G3114 SMA400 (JIS G 3114:2022) and EN 10088-1 X8CrNiS18-9 (EN 10088-1:2014) are both steel grades.
JIS G3114 SMA400 is classified under Structural Steel (Corten / Weathering), while EN 10088-1 X8CrNiS18-9 is classified under Stainless Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below.
JIS G3114 SMA400 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while EN 10088-1 X8CrNiS18-9 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, JIS G3114 SMA400 vs EN 10088-1 X8CrNiS18-9 is a 63.4% 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 63.4%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
