Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4404 SKD61 (JIS G4404:2006) and GB/T 1299 3Cr2W8V (GB/T 1299-2014) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Tool & Die Steels category.
JIS G4404 SKD61 is typically used for die casting dies, extrusion tooling, forging tools, while GB/T 1299 3Cr2W8V is commonly used for used for hot forging dies, extrusion dies, die-casting molds, hot punches, and hot shear blades..
JIS G4404 SKD61 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while GB/T 1299 3Cr2W8V is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4404 SKD61 vs GB/T 1299 3Cr2W8V is a 59.1% 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.
