Related Material — 65% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GOST 380 St3sp (GOST 380-2005) and IS 11169 (Part 1) 20Mn5Cr5 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) are both steel grades.
GOST 380 St3sp is classified under Structural Steel, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 20Mn5Cr5 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 IS 11169 (Part 1) 20Mn5Cr5 is commonly used for cold heading and cold extrusion of parts that are case hardened; the standard covers bars, wire rods and wires of 2 to 100 mm (clause 1.1, annex b).
IS 11169 (Part 1) 20Mn5Cr5 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS) (India).
As per chemical composition, GOST 380 St3sp vs IS 11169 (Part 1) 20Mn5Cr5 is a 73.3% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 100%.
Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 65%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
