Minimal Match — 54.3% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4404 SKD61 (JIS G4404:2006) and GOST 5950 4H5MFS1 (GOST 5950-2000) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Tool & Die Steels category.
JIS G4404 SKD61 is typically used for die casting dies, extrusion tooling, forging tools, while GOST 5950 4H5MFS1 is commonly used for used for forging dies, pressure casting dies, hot punches, extrusion tooling, and die inserts..
JIS G4404 SKD61 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) (Japan).
As per chemical composition, JIS G4404 SKD61 vs GOST 5950 4H5MFS1 is a 81.4% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 0%.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 54.3%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
