Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4305 SUS304LN (JIS G4305:2012) and ASTM A959 .- (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
JIS G4305 SUS304LN is typically used for cold-rolled stainless steel plates, sheet and strip, while ASTM A959 .- is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1).
JIS G4305 SUS304LN is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while ASTM A959 .- is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4305 SUS304LN vs ASTM A959 .- is a 71.9% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 69.9%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
