Close Alternative — 81.3% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN ISO 683-17 20CrMo4 (EN ISO 683-17:2014) and KS D3867 SCM415 (KS D 3867:2025) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
EN ISO 683-17 20CrMo4 is typically used for used in gears, shafts, axles, high-tensile bolts, and structural components., while KS D3867 SCM415 is commonly used for gears, shafts, camshafts, piston pins, precision machine components requiring hard surface and tough core..
EN ISO 683-17 20CrMo4 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while KS D3867 SCM415 is defined under Korean Industrial Standards (KS), originating from South Korea.
As per chemical composition, EN ISO 683-17 20CrMo4 vs KS D3867 SCM415 is a 81.3% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 81.3%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
