GOST 380 St3sp vs BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17

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

GOST 380 St3sp (GOST 380-2005) and BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 (BS 970 (Part 1):1991) are both steel grades. GOST 380 St3sp is classified under Structural Steel, while BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 is classified under Alloy Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below. GOST 380 St3sp is typically used for structural components, welded structures, plates, construction equipment, machinery frames, rolled sections, while BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 is commonly used for case hardening steel (section four). BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 is defined under British Standards (BS) (United Kingdom).

As per chemical composition, GOST 380 St3sp vs BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 is a 66.9% 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%.
