Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GOST 4543 40HM (GOST 4543-2016) and NF A35-565 100C6 are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
GOST 4543 40HM is typically used for used for gears, shafts, spindles, bolts, and hydraulic components., while NF A35-565 100C6 is commonly used for ball bearings, roller bearings, bearing races, rollers, precision tools, wear resistant parts.
NF A35-565 100C6 is defined under Association Francaise de Normalisation (NF) (France).
As per chemical composition, GOST 4543 40HM vs NF A35-565 100C6 is a 64.8% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 18.2%.
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.
