Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GB/T 3077 40CrNiMoA (GB/T 3077-2015) and GOST 4543 12HN3A (GOST 4543-2016) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
GB/T 3077 40CrNiMoA is typically used for used for crankshafts, turbine shafts, heavy-duty gears, aircraft landing parts, bolts, and pressure components., while GOST 4543 12HN3A is commonly used for used for gears, pinions, crankshafts, aircraft parts, and transmission components..
GB/T 3077 40CrNiMoA is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T) (China).
As per chemical composition, GB/T 3077 40CrNiMoA vs GOST 4543 12HN3A is a 66.9% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 0%.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 35%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
