Strong Match — 98.6% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4304 SUS405 (JIS G4304:2021) and ASTM A959 405 (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
JIS G4304 SUS405 is typically used for hot-rolled stainless steel plates and strips, while ASTM A959 405 is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1).
JIS G4304 SUS405 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while ASTM A959 405 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4304 SUS405 vs ASTM A959 405 is a 98.6% 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 98.6%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
