Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A514 (ASTM A514) and GOST 4543 12HN3A (GOST 4543-2016) 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 GOST 4543 12HN3A is commonly used for used for gears, pinions, crankshafts, aircraft parts, and transmission components..
ASTM A514 is defined under ASTM International (United States).
As per chemical composition, ASTM A514 vs GOST 4543 12HN3A is a 62.3% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 3.9%.
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.
