Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 (Part 1) 655H13 (BS 970 (Part 1):1991) 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 (section four), 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 74.6% 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.
