Strong Match — 92.4% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GB/T 1299 4Cr5MoSiV (GB/T 1299-2014) and ASTM A681 H13 (ASTM A681:2008) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Tool & Die Steels category.
GB/T 1299 4Cr5MoSiV is typically used for die casting dies, extrusion tooling, while ASTM A681 H13 is commonly used for die casting dies, extrusion dies, forging dies, hot stamping.
GB/T 1299 4Cr5MoSiV is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China, while ASTM A681 H13 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, GB/T 1299 4Cr5MoSiV vs ASTM A681 H13 is a 88.6% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 100%.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 92.4%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
