BS 970 (Part 1) 280M01 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 045M10

Related Material — 69.9% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

BS 970 (Part 1) 280M01 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) and BS 970 (Part 3) 045M10 (BS 970 (Part 3):1991) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Carbon Steel category. BS 970 (Part 1) 280M01 is typically used for micro-alloyed carbon manganese steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes; strength levels s, t and u are obtained without hardening and tempering (table 5)., while BS 970 (Part 3) 045M10 is commonly used for bright cold finished bars (cold drawn, turned or precision ground) for general engineering purposes, in straight lengths; case hardening steel, carbon and carbon manganese (table 14). BS 970 (Part 1) 280M01 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while BS 970 (Part 3) 045M10 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.

As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 280M01 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 045M10 is a 72.8% 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 69.9%.
