Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4104 SCr440 (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 SCr440 is typically used for used in gears, shafts, bolts, spindles, couplings, and machine structural parts., while GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A is commonly used for used for gears, shafts, pinions, aircraft parts, heavy-duty bearings, and transmission components..
JIS G4104 SCr440 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 SCr440 vs GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A is a 66.6% 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.
