Close Alternative — 73.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4202 SACM645 (JIS G 4202:2005) and BS 970 (Part 1) 905M39 (BS 970 (Part 1):1991) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
JIS G4202 SACM645 is typically used for nitrided gears, crankshafts, cylinder liners, gauges, while BS 970 (Part 1) 905M39 is commonly used for steel for surface hardening by nitriding (section three).
JIS G4202 SACM645 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while BS 970 (Part 1) 905M39 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4202 SACM645 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 905M39 is a 73.7% 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 73.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
