Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 (EN ISO 683-17:2014) and GOST 5950 4H5MFS (GOST 5950-2000) 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 GOST 5950 4H5MFS is commonly used for used for die casting dies, forging tools, extrusion dies, punches, and hot shear blades..
EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 is defined under European Standard (EN) (Europe).
As per chemical composition, EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 vs GOST 5950 4H5MFS is a 59.5% 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.
