Strong Match — 93.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A681 H13 (ASTM A681:2008) and ASTM A681 H11 (ASTM A681:2008) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Tool & Die Steels category.
ASTM A681 H13 is typically used for die casting dies, extrusion dies, forging dies, hot stamping, while ASTM A681 H11 is commonly used for die casting dies, extrusion tooling, forging dies.
ASTM A681 H13 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States, while ASTM A681 H11 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, ASTM A681 H13 vs ASTM A681 H11 is a 90.9% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 100%.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 93.9%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
