Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A514 (ASTM A514) and NF A35-565 100C6 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 NF A35-565 100C6 is commonly used for ball bearings, roller bearings, bearing races, rollers, precision tools, wear resistant parts.
ASTM A514 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States, while NF A35-565 100C6 is defined under Association Francaise de Normalisation (NF), originating from France.
As per chemical composition, ASTM A514 vs NF A35-565 100C6 is a 58.4% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 6.6%.
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.
