Strong Match — 95.4% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
SAE J403 1026 (SAE J403:2009) and IS 11169 (Part 1) 25C8 (IS 11169 (Part 1):1984) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Carbon Steel category.
SAE J403 1026 is typically used for chemistry-only grade; product scope as listed in the composition notes, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 25C8 is commonly used for cold heading and cold extrusion; the standard covers wires, wire rods and bars of 2 to 100 mm diameter (clause 1.1).
SAE J403 1026 is defined under SAE International, originating from United States, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 25C8 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, SAE J403 1026 vs IS 11169 (Part 1) 25C8 is a 95.4% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 95.4%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
