Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4804 SUM22L (JIS G 4804:2021) and SAE J403 1117 (SAE J403:2009) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Free Machining Steel category.
JIS G4804 SUM22L is typically used for complex precision turned parts, high speed machining, while SAE J403 1117 is commonly used for chemistry-only grade; product scope as listed in the composition notes.
JIS G4804 SUM22L is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while SAE J403 1117 is defined under SAE International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4804 SUM22L vs SAE J403 1117 is a 70.7% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
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.
