Related Material — 65% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
AS/NZS 3678 Grade 350WR (AS/NZS 3678:2016) and IS 11169 (Part 1) 5C4 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) are both steel grades.
AS/NZS 3678 Grade 350WR is classified under Structural Steel (Corten / Weathering), while IS 11169 (Part 1) 5C4 is classified under Carbon Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below.
AS/NZS 3678 Grade 350WR is typically used for weather-resistant (corrosion-resistant) structural steel; exposed bridge and structural applications requiring atmospheric corrosion resistance, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 5C4 is commonly used for cold heading and cold extrusion of parts not heat treated after cold forming; the standard covers bars, wire rods and wires of 2 to 100 mm (clause 1.1, annex a).
AS/NZS 3678 Grade 350WR is defined under Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS), originating from Australia/New Zealand, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 5C4 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, AS/NZS 3678 Grade 350WR vs IS 11169 (Part 1) 5C4 is a 65.7% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 65%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
