Related Material — 70% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A387/A387M Grade 2 (ASTM A387/A387M:2011) and EN 10084 22CrMoS3-5 (EN 10084:2008) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
ASTM A387/A387M Grade 2 is typically used for welded boilers and pressure vessels for elevated temperature service, while EN 10084 22CrMoS3-5 is commonly used for case hardened machine parts: carburized or carbonitrided, then hardened (clause 3.1).
ASTM A387/A387M Grade 2 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States, while EN 10084 22CrMoS3-5 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, ASTM A387/A387M Grade 2 vs EN 10084 22CrMoS3-5 is a 70% 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 70%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
