Minimal Match — 34.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GOST 4543 40HNM (GOST 4543-2016) and UNI 11234 100Cr6 (UNI 11234:2007) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
GOST 4543 40HNM is typically used for used for crankshafts, gears, axles, heavy shafts, and machine tool parts., while UNI 11234 100Cr6 is commonly used for ball bearings,roller bearings,needle bearings,dies,punches,gauges,wear resistant components.
UNI 11234 100Cr6 is defined under Ente Nazionale Italiano di Unificazione (UNI) (Italy).
As per chemical composition, GOST 4543 40HNM vs UNI 11234 100Cr6 is a 51.4% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 1.2%.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 34.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
