Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4104 SCr440 (JIS G 4104:1979) and GOST 4543 12HN3A (GOST 4543-2016) 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 GOST 4543 12HN3A is commonly used for used for gears, pinions, crankshafts, aircraft parts, and transmission components..
JIS G4104 SCr440 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) (Japan).
As per chemical composition, JIS G4104 SCr440 vs GOST 4543 12HN3A is a 65.2% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 10%.
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.
