GB/T 1591 Q355C vs IS 11169 (Part 1) 15Cr3

Related Material — 65% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

GB/T 1591 Q355C (GB/T 1591:2018) and IS 11169 (Part 1) 15Cr3 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) are both steel grades. GB/T 1591 Q355C is classified under Structural Steel, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 15Cr3 is classified under Alloy Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below. GB/T 1591 Q355C is typically used for general structure for engineering (plates, strips, bars and sections), while IS 11169 (Part 1) 15Cr3 is commonly used for cold heading and cold extrusion of parts that are case hardened; the standard covers bars, wire rods and wires of 2 to 100 mm (clause 1.1, annex b). GB/T 1591 Q355C is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 15Cr3 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.

As per chemical composition, GB/T 1591 Q355C vs IS 11169 (Part 1) 15Cr3 is a 68.3% match. Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored. Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 65%.
