AISI 3310 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13

Close Alternative — 75.8% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

AISI 3310 and BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13 (BS 970 (Part 3):1991) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Alloy Steel category. AISI 3310 is typically used for aircraft gears, heavily stressed case hardened parts, while BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13 is commonly used for bright cold finished bars (cold drawn, turned or precision ground) for general engineering purposes, in straight lengths; alloy case hardening steel (table 15). AISI 3310 is defined under AISI, originating from United States, while BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.

As per chemical composition, AISI 3310 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13 is a 75.8% match. Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored. Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 75.8%.
