Strong Match — 89.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4804 SUM23L (JIS G 4804:2021) and EN 10087 11SMn30 (EN 10087:1998) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Free Machining Steel category.
JIS G4804 SUM23L is typically used for small precision turned parts, while EN 10087 11SMn30 is commonly used for high volume screw machine parts, bolts, studs.
JIS G4804 SUM23L is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while EN 10087 11SMn30 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4804 SUM23L vs EN 10087 11SMn30 is a 84.8% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 100%.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 89.9%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
