One site lists "SAE AMS 6264" as a US equivalent but am unable to find this US spec via techstreet.com
Thank You.

Maybe some of our American colleagues will be able to do more with the above composition.

rightasrain- your AMS6264 is a high Chrome aerospace quality carburizing grade of alloy steel.
As mentioned here:
thread31-189675: USA steel equivalent
0481- You may be right, however there are several grades of 3nn series stainless that have 18-8 basic composition, 302,304 etc...
MaxNeg63 -- You may also be right, however I'd liek to see some more information from the OP to determine which steel they're looking for.
This is why cross referencing steels is such a big job. Imagine a part designed in AMS6264 (with a composition designed for carburizing (and similar to MaxNeg's suggestion) being made from 304 stainless.... Ouch. carburizing 304 is not going ot work well....
I suggest taking into account not only the spec on the paper but also making some sort of sense of the application, and processing of the component.
good luck....
(oh you might want to try the worldwide guide to equivalent irons and steels.)
