Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 (Part 1) 655H13 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) and GB/T 3077 12CrNi2 (GB/T 3077:2015) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 (Part 1) 655H13 is typically used for case hardening steel supplied to specified hardenability limits (end quench test, table 10)., while GB/T 3077 12CrNi2 is commonly used for hot-rolled or forged structural alloy steel bars.
BS 970 (Part 1) 655H13 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while GB/T 3077 12CrNi2 is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 655H13 vs GB/T 3077 12CrNi2 is a 75.7% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 69.9%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
