Minimal Match — 32.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4305 SUS304 (JIS G4305:2012) and IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr12Ni2Mo (IS 1570 (Part 7):1992) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
JIS G4305 SUS304 is typically used for cold-rolled stainless steel plates, sheet and strip, while IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr12Ni2Mo is commonly used for boilers, pressure vessels, steam turbines, steam and water piping and other power plant equipment working at elevated temperature.
JIS G4305 SUS304 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr12Ni2Mo is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4305 SUS304 vs IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr12Ni2Mo is a 49.4% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 0%.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 32.9%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
