Related Material — 62.8% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GB/T 3077 25Cr2Mo1V (GB/T 3077:2015) and BS 970 (Part 1) 897M39 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
GB/T 3077 25Cr2Mo1V is typically used for hot-rolled or forged structural alloy steel bars, while BS 970 (Part 1) 897M39 is commonly used for through hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes; supplied in the hardened and tempered conditions of table 6..
GB/T 3077 25Cr2Mo1V is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China, while BS 970 (Part 1) 897M39 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, GB/T 3077 25Cr2Mo1V vs BS 970 (Part 1) 897M39 is a 62.8% 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 62.8%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
