Minimal Match — 50.6% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN ISO 4957 X30WCrV9-3 (EN ISO 4957:2018) and GOST 5950 3H2W8F (GOST 5950-2000) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Tool & Die Steels category.
EN ISO 4957 X30WCrV9-3 is typically used for hot extrusion dies, hot forging dies for non-ferrous metals, while GOST 5950 3H2W8F is commonly used for used for forging dies, extrusion tools, hot punches, mandrels, and die inserts..
EN ISO 4957 X30WCrV9-3 is defined under European Standard (EN) (Europe).
As per chemical composition, EN ISO 4957 X30WCrV9-3 vs GOST 5950 3H2W8F is a 75.8% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 0%.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 50.6%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
