1.2379 equivalent grades: ASTM, EN, JIS, GB, DIN
1.2379 is cold-work tool steel, 12 % Cr ledeburitic specified in EN ISO 4957. The cross-reference runs across 6 standard systems and grades every candidate, so the reason a substitution is safe is on the same row as the name. The full 1.2379 data sheet carries the composition and mechanical tables.
Last updated
1.2379 is cross-certified with D2, BD2, Cr12Mo1V1 and 1 more: the composition windows overlap closely enough that one certificate satisfies the other. A single clause separates 1.2436, Kh12MF: differ either a test temperature or a composition bound that the other does not. Functionally interchangeable, 1.2363, 1.2842, 1.2510 serve a different route to the same duty — check the design, not the analysis. The table holds 1 in AISI / SAE, 1 in BS (superseded British), 1 in GB/T (China), 1 in JIS (Japan), 4 in EN (European), 1 in GOST (Russia/CIS).
Cross-reference table
| Grade | System | Match | Why / differences |
|---|---|---|---|
| D2 | AISI / SAE | Identical | AISI D2 (UNS T30402, ASTM A681): C 1.40–1.60, Cr 11–13, Mo 0.70–1.20, V 0.50–1.10. Same steel; 1.2379 has a slightly tighter V/Mo window. |
| BD2 | BS (superseded British) | Identical | BS 4659 BD2. |
| Cr12Mo1V1 | GB/T (China) | Identical | GB/T 1299 Cr12Mo1V1 (D2 type): C 1.40–1.60, Cr 11–13, Mo 0.70–1.20, V 0.50–1.10. Cr12MoV is the older lower-Mo Chinese grade. |
| SKD11 | JIS (Japan) | Identical | JIS G4404 SKD11: C 1.40–1.60, Cr 11–13, Mo 0.80–1.20, V 0.20–0.50 — vanadium lower; hardenability and wear resistance close. |
| 1.2436 | EN (European) | Near | X210CrW12 (D6): tungsten-bearing 12 % Cr, slightly higher wear resistance, lower toughness. |
| Kh12MF | GOST (Russia/CIS) | Near | GOST 5950 Kh12MF: C 1.45–1.65, Cr 11–12.5, Mo 0.40–0.60, V 0.15–0.30 — lower Mo and V. |
| 1.2363 | EN (European) | Functional | X100CrMoV5 (A2): 5 % Cr air-hardening steel with better toughness, lower wear resistance. |
| 1.2842 | EN (European) | Functional | 90MnCrV8 (O2) oil-hardening steel for less demanding dies. |
| 1.2510 | EN (European) | Functional | X153CrMoV12 (D2): many times the abrasive wear resistance, air hardening, higher cost. Used where tool life rather than cost or edge sharpness governs. |
Identical, near and functional are defined once on the grade index; the reason column below says which limit differs in each case.
