Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A514 (ASTM A514) and GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A (GB/T 3077-2015) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
ASTM A514 is typically used for used for cranes, mining equipment, pressure vessels, bridges, heavy trucks, and structural fabrication., while GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A is commonly used for used for gears, shafts, pinions, aircraft parts, heavy-duty bearings, and transmission components..
ASTM A514 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States, while GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China.
As per chemical composition, ASTM A514 vs GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A is a 61.3% 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.
