Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4404 SKS31 (JIS G4404:2006) and EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 (EN ISO 683-17:2014) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Tool & Die Steels category.
JIS G4404 SKS31 is typically used for cold working molds, press dies, jigs, gauges, long taps, reamers, measuring tools requiring minimal quenching distortion., while EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 is commonly used for rolling element bearings, precision components, cold work tooling.
JIS G4404 SKS31 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4404 SKS31 vs EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 is a 72.5% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 0%.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 35%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
