Related Material — 69.5% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GB/T 3077 25MnTiBRE (GB/T 3077:2015) and BS 970 (Part 1) 174H20 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
GB/T 3077 25MnTiBRE is typically used for hot-rolled or forged structural alloy steel bars, while BS 970 (Part 1) 174H20 is commonly used for case hardening steel supplied to specified hardenability limits (end quench test, table 10)..
GB/T 3077 25MnTiBRE is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China, while BS 970 (Part 1) 174H20 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, GB/T 3077 25MnTiBRE vs BS 970 (Part 1) 174H20 is a 69.5% 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 69.5%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
