Close Alternative — 81.6% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 (Part 1) 535A99 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) and GOST 801 ShKh15 (GOST 801-1978) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 (Part 1) 535A99 is typically used for used for aircraft fittings, gears, high-strength shafts, crankshafts, heavy-duty fasteners, and transmission parts., while GOST 801 ShKh15 is commonly used for used for ball bearings, roller bearings, races, bearing rings, and precision rollers..
BS 970 (Part 1) 535A99 is defined under British Standards (BS) (United Kingdom).
As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 535A99 vs GOST 801 ShKh15 is a 81.6% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 81.6%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
