Strong Match — 90.2% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4051 S45C (JIS G4051:2009) and SAE J403 1045 (SAE J403:2001) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Carbon Steel category.
JIS G4051 S45C is typically used for shafts, gears, bolts, machine parts, keys, while SAE J403 1045 is commonly used for chemistry-only grade; product scope as listed in the composition notes.
JIS G4051 S45C is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while SAE J403 1045 is defined under SAE International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4051 S45C vs SAE J403 1045 is a 90.2% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 90.2%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
