Close Alternative — 70.5% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 (Part 1) 835M30 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) and GB/T 3077 30Cr2Ni4Mo (GB/T 3077:2015) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 (Part 1) 835M30 is typically used for through hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes; supplied in the hardened and tempered conditions of table 6., while GB/T 3077 30Cr2Ni4Mo is commonly used for hot-rolled or forged structural alloy steel bars.
BS 970 (Part 1) 835M30 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while GB/T 3077 30Cr2Ni4Mo is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 835M30 vs GB/T 3077 30Cr2Ni4Mo is a 70.5% 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 70.5%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
