Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A387/A387M Grade 2 (ASTM A387/A387M:2011) and UNI 11234 100Cr6 (UNI 11234:2007) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
ASTM A387/A387M Grade 2 is typically used for welded boilers and pressure vessels for elevated temperature service, while UNI 11234 100Cr6 is commonly used for ball bearings,roller bearings,needle bearings,dies,punches,gauges,wear resistant components.
ASTM A387/A387M Grade 2 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States, while UNI 11234 100Cr6 is defined under Ente Nazionale Italiano di Unificazione (UNI), originating from Italy.
As per chemical composition, ASTM A387/A387M Grade 2 vs UNI 11234 100Cr6 is a 67.4% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 0%.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 35%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
