Strong Match — 93.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
SAE J404 8622 (SAE J404:2009) and BS 970 (Part 1) 805A22 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
SAE J404 8622 is typically used for chemistry-only alloy steel grade; see the composition notes for product scope, while BS 970 (Part 1) 805A22 is commonly used for case hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes (table 11 mechanical properties)..
SAE J404 8622 is defined under SAE International, originating from United States, while BS 970 (Part 1) 805A22 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, SAE J404 8622 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 805A22 is a 93.9% 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 93.9%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
