Strong Match — 92.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 (Part 1) 170H41 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) and BS 970 (Part 1) 170H36 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 (Part 1) 170H41 is typically used for through hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes (table 6 gives composition only; see the hardenability tables)., while BS 970 (Part 1) 170H36 is commonly used for through hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes (table 6 gives composition only; see the hardenability tables)..
BS 970 (Part 1) 170H41 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while BS 970 (Part 1) 170H36 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 170H41 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 170H36 is a 92.9% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 92.9%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
