Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 (EN ISO 683-17:2014) and GB/T 1299 4Cr5MoSiV (GB/T 1299-2014) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Tool & Die Steels category.
EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 is typically used for rolling element bearings, precision components, cold work tooling, while GB/T 1299 4Cr5MoSiV is commonly used for die casting dies, extrusion tooling.
EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while GB/T 1299 4Cr5MoSiV is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China.
As per chemical composition, EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 vs GB/T 1299 4Cr5MoSiV is a 63.1% 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.
