Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
KS D3867 SCM415 (KS D 3867:2025) and GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A (GB/T 3077-2015) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
KS D3867 SCM415 is typically used for gears, shafts, camshafts, piston pins, precision machine components requiring hard surface and tough core., while GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A is commonly used for used for gears, shafts, pinions, aircraft parts, heavy-duty bearings, and transmission components..
KS D3867 SCM415 is defined under Korean Industrial Standards (KS), originating from South Korea, while GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China.
As per chemical composition, KS D3867 SCM415 vs GB/T 3077 12Cr2Ni4A is a 57.1% 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.
