Introduction
JIS G 3441 is a Japanese
Industrial Standard covering alloy steel tubes used in machinery, automobiles
and other machine parts. These tubes are manufactured from alloy steels
containing elements such as chromium and molybdenum to provide suitable
strength, hardenability, toughness and wear resistance.
JIS G 3441 alloy steel tubes
are used in mechanical components that require dependable performance,
dimensional accuracy and the ability to withstand demanding operating
conditions.
Applicable Standard
JIS G 3441:2025 – Alloy Steel
Tubes for Machine Purposes.
The 2025 edition was
published on 21 April 2025 and supersedes JIS G 3441:2021.
Material Type
Alloy Steel (AS)
JIS G 3441 covers alloy steel
tubes, including chromium steel and chromium-molybdenum steel grades. These
materials are distinct from stainless steel and conventional carbon steel.
Scope
The standard specifies
requirements for alloy steel tubes used in:
·
Machinery
and mechanical equipment
·
Automobile
components
·
Machine
parts and assemblies
·
Engineering
components requiring strength and hardenability
·
Applications
involving mechanical loading and wear
Available Grades
Commonly referenced JIS G
3441 grade designations include:
·
SCr
420 TK
·
SCM
415 TK
·
SCM
418 TK
·
SCM
420 TK
·
SCM
430 TK
·
SCM
435 TK
·
SCM
440 TK
SCr grades are chromium alloy
steels, while SCM grades are chromium-molybdenum alloy steels. Grade
availability and the applicable designation list should be checked against the
current JIS G 3441:2025 edition before ordering.
Chemical Composition
The chemical composition
varies according to the selected grade. The following table provides reference
composition values for commonly listed grades. These values are drawn from
published JIS G 3441 grade data and should be verified against the current
edition and the material test certificate.

Mechanical Properties
The mechanical properties of
JIS G 3441 alloy steel tubes depend on the grade, tube dimensions,
manufacturing process and heat-treatment condition.
The principal mechanical
characteristics include:
·
Tensile
strength
·
Yield
strength or proof stress, where specified
·
Elongation
·
Hardness
·
Hardenability
and heat-treatment response
Mechanical testing
requirements and acceptance values must be confirmed against the selected grade
and applicable delivery condition. Where additional tensile, impact or hardness
testing is required, the relevant requirements should be agreed upon at the
time of ordering.
Manufacturing Process
JIS G 3441 alloy steel tubes
are produced through suitable tube-manufacturing processes, which may include:
