GB/T 699 30Mn vs EN 10084 16NiCrS4

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

GB/T 699 30Mn (GB/T 699:2015) and EN 10084 16NiCrS4 (EN 10084:2008) are both steel grades. GB/T 699 30Mn is classified under Carbon Steel, while EN 10084 16NiCrS4 is classified under Alloy Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below. GB/T 699 30Mn is typically used for hot-rolled or forged quality carbon structural steel bars up to 250 mm, while EN 10084 16NiCrS4 is commonly used for case hardened machine parts: carburized or carbonitrided, then hardened (clause 3.1). GB/T 699 30Mn is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China, while EN 10084 16NiCrS4 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.

As per chemical composition, GB/T 699 30Mn vs EN 10084 16NiCrS4 is a 66.5% match. As per mechanical properties, the match is 100%. Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 65%.
