Strong Match — 87.2% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
GOST 801 ShKh15 (GOST 801-1978) and SAE J404 E52100 (SAE J404:2009) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
GOST 801 ShKh15 is typically used for used for ball bearings, roller bearings, races, bearing rings, and precision rollers., while SAE J404 E52100 is commonly used for chemistry-only alloy steel grade; see the composition notes for product scope.
SAE J404 E52100 is defined under SAE International (United States).
As per chemical composition, GOST 801 ShKh15 vs SAE J404 E52100 is a 87.2% 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 87.2%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
