Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN ISO 4957 1.2316 (EN ISO 4957:2018) and GOST 5950 4H5MFS1 (GOST 5950-2000) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Tool & Die Steels category.
EN ISO 4957 1.2316 is typically used for plastic injection moulds for corrosive materials, food packaging moulds, while GOST 5950 4H5MFS1 is commonly used for used for forging dies, pressure casting dies, hot punches, extrusion tooling, and die inserts..
EN ISO 4957 1.2316 is defined under European Standard (EN) (Europe).
As per chemical composition, EN ISO 4957 1.2316 vs GOST 5950 4H5MFS1 is a 57.8% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 0%.
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.
