SD490 vs A615 Grade 60

Japan JIS G 3112 · Steel

SD490

Japanese deformed bar: yield 490–625 MPa, tensile ≥ 620 MPa, yield ratio ≤ 80 %.

United States ASTM A615/A615M · Steel

A615 Grade 60

The common US rebar: 60 ksi (420 MPa) yield. Not intended for welding; use A706 where welding or seismic ductility matters.
