GB/T 699 08 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 655H13

Related Material — 65% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

GB/T 699 08 (GB/T 699:2015) and BS 970 (Part 1) 655H13 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades. GB/T 699 08 is classified under Carbon Steel, while BS 970 (Part 1) 655H13 is classified under Alloy Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below. GB/T 699 08 is typically used for hot-rolled or forged quality carbon structural steel bars up to 250 mm, while BS 970 (Part 1) 655H13 is commonly used for case hardening steel supplied to specified hardenability limits (end quench test, table 10).. GB/T 699 08 is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China, while BS 970 (Part 1) 655H13 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.

As per chemical composition, GB/T 699 08 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 655H13 is a 65.8% 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 65%.
