Strong Match — 89.8% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4304 SUS316L (JIS G4304:2021) and JIS G4305 SUS316J1L (JIS G4305:2012) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
JIS G4304 SUS316L is typically used for hot-rolled stainless steel plates and strips, while JIS G4305 SUS316J1L is commonly used for cold-rolled stainless steel plates, sheet and strip.
JIS G4304 SUS316L is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while JIS G4305 SUS316J1L is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4304 SUS316L vs JIS G4305 SUS316J1L is a 84.7% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 100%.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 89.8%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
