Related Material — 66.1% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GB/T 1591 Q355B (GB/T 1591:2018) and GOST 380 St3sp (GOST 380-2005) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Structural Steel category.
GB/T 1591 Q355B is typically used for general structure for engineering (plates, strips, bars and sections), while GOST 380 St3sp is commonly used for structural components, welded structures, plates, construction equipment, machinery frames, rolled sections.
GB/T 1591 Q355B is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T) (China).
As per chemical composition, GB/T 1591 Q355B vs GOST 380 St3sp is a 81.2% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 35.9%.
Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 66.1%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
