Strong Match — 85.1% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4304 SUS631 (JIS G4304:2021) and ASTM A959 635 (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
JIS G4304 SUS631 is typically used for hot-rolled stainless steel plates and strips, while ASTM A959 635 is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1).
JIS G4304 SUS631 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while ASTM A959 635 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4304 SUS631 vs ASTM A959 635 is a 85.1% 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 85.1%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
