Strong Match — 91.4% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4304 SUS410 (JIS G4304:2021) and BS 970 (Part 3) 403S17 (BS 970 (Part 3):1991) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
JIS G4304 SUS410 is typically used for hot-rolled stainless steel plates and strips, while BS 970 (Part 3) 403S17 is commonly used for bright cold finished bars (cold drawn, turned or precision ground) for general engineering purposes, in straight lengths; ferritic stainless steel (table 17).
JIS G4304 SUS410 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while BS 970 (Part 3) 403S17 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4304 SUS410 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 403S17 is a 91.4% 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 91.4%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
