Close Alternative — 80.3% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GB/T 3077 45CrNi (GB/T 3077:2015) and BS 970 EN111A (BS 970:1955) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
GB/T 3077 45CrNi is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China, while BS 970 EN111A is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, GB/T 3077 45CrNi vs BS 970 EN111A is a 80.3% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 80.3%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
