Strong Match — 90.5% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GOST 801 ShKh15 (GOST 801-1978) and IS 1570 (Part 4) 103Cr6 (IS 1570 (Part 4):1988) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 1570 (Part 4) 103Cr6 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS) (India).
As per chemical composition, GOST 801 ShKh15 vs IS 1570 (Part 4) 103Cr6 is a 90.5% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 90.5%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
