International Steel Grade Comparison

A preliminary identification resource, not an automatic substitution approval.

Grade comparison notice
Cross-standard designations are provided for preliminary identification only. Similar designations are not automatically interchangeable. Chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat-treatment condition, dimensional requirements and the governing purchase specification must be reviewed before substitution.

How to Use Grade References

Identify the governing standard

State the exact standard designation, edition and required delivery condition.

Compare technical requirements

Review composition, mechanical properties, heat treatment, dimensions and inspection requirements.

Confirm before ordering

Equivalent-looking names do not replace a formal material and order review.

Hengtaifeng's main portfolio includes medium carbon, high carbon, heat-treated high-strength, automotive alloy and stainless steel grades. Send the original drawing or material specification when available.

SK5 / SK4Nippon Steel identifies these as former symbols for SK85 / SK95.Product form, chemistry, condition and order requirements.
65Mn / SAE 1065They may be compared as candidate spring/high-carbon steels.Manganese limits and the full governing standards differ; no automatic substitution.
65Mn / SUP6Both may appear in spring-steel searches.SUP6 is silicon-manganese steel and should not be labelled a direct equivalent.
