Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 1570 (Part 4) 103Cr4 (IS 1570 (Part 4):1988) and GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A (GB/T 3077-2015) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 1570 (Part 4) 103Cr4 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China.
As per chemical composition, IS 1570 (Part 4) 103Cr4 vs GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A is a 66.3% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
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.
