Related Material — 65% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GB/T 3077 25Cr2MoV (GB/T 3077:2015) and ASTM A681 P20 (ASTM A681:2008) are both steel grades.
GB/T 3077 25Cr2MoV is classified under Alloy Steel, while ASTM A681 P20 is classified under Tool & Die Steels — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below.
GB/T 3077 25Cr2MoV is typically used for hot-rolled or forged structural alloy steel bars, while ASTM A681 P20 is commonly used for tools, dies and fixtures (clause 1.2).
GB/T 3077 25Cr2MoV is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China, while ASTM A681 P20 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, GB/T 3077 25Cr2MoV vs ASTM A681 P20 is a 65.4% 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%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
