Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4104 SCr420 (JIS G 4104:1979) and GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A (GB/T 3077-2015) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
JIS G4104 SCr420 is typically used for case hardened gears, shafts, cams, while GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A is commonly used for used for gears, shafts, pinions, aircraft parts, heavy-duty bearings, and transmission components..
JIS G4104 SCr420 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4104 SCr420 vs GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A is a 64.7% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 0%.
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.
