International Material Cross-Reference Charts

International Material Cross-Reference Charts

When sourcing engineered metal castings, forgings, and machined components internationally, cross-referencing national material standards is essential to maintain structural equivalence.

ForceBeyond provides this technical cross-reference guide to help design and procurement engineers match US standards (UNS, AISI, ASTM, AMS) with international equivalents (DIN/EN Europe, JIS Japan, BS United Kingdom).

1. Stainless Steel & Duplex Alloy Equivalents

US Standard (UNS / AISI) ASTM / AMS Spec EN / DIN Standard (Europe) W.Nr. (Germany) JIS Standard (Japan)
AISI 304 (UNS S30400) ASTM A240 / A351 CF8 X5CrNi18-10 1.4301 / 1.4308 SUS 304 / SCS 13A
AISI 316L (UNS S31603) ASTM A240 / A351 CF3M X2CrNiMo17-12-2 1.4404 / 1.4409 SUS 316L / SCS 14A
17-4 PH (UNS S17400) ASTM A564 / AMS 5643 X5CrNiCuNb16-4 1.4542 / 1.4548 SUS 630
Duplex 2205 (UNS S32205) ASTM A182 / A890 4A X2CrNiMoN22-5-3 1.4462 SUS 329J3L

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is international material cross-referencing important for global manufacturing?

Cross-referencing national material standards ensures structural equivalence, chemical consistency, and mechanical reliability when sourcing engineered castings, forgings, and machined components globally.

How does ForceBeyond verify that international equivalents match US material specifications?

Every raw melt and component undergoes Positive Material Identification (PMI) testing and comes with EN 10204 3.1 Certified Material Test Reports (MTRs) to guarantee chemical and mechanical equivalence.
