Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4801 SUP9 (JIS G 4801:2005) and EN 10089 55Si7 (EN 10089:2002) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Spring Steel category.
JIS G4801 SUP9 is typically used for automotive leaf springs, suspension springs, while EN 10089 55Si7 is commonly used for leaf springs, coil springs, torsion bars.
JIS G4801 SUP9 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while EN 10089 55Si7 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4801 SUP9 vs EN 10089 55Si7 is a 79.9% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 25%.
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.
