BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 vs EN 10084 10NiCr5-4

Close Alternative — 70.2% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) and EN 10084 10NiCr5-4 (EN 10084:2008) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Alloy Steel category. BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 is typically used for case hardening steel supplied to specified hardenability limits (end quench test, table 10)., while EN 10084 10NiCr5-4 is commonly used for case hardened machine parts: carburized or carbonitrided, then hardened (clause 3.1). BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while EN 10084 10NiCr5-4 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.

As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 vs EN 10084 10NiCr5-4 is a 70.2% 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 70.2%.
