Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 (Part 1) 805A22 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) and NF A35-565 100C6 are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 (Part 1) 805A22 is typically used for case hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes (table 11 mechanical properties)., while NF A35-565 100C6 is commonly used for ball bearings, roller bearings, bearing races, rollers, precision tools, wear resistant parts.
BS 970 (Part 1) 805A22 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while NF A35-565 100C6 is defined under Association Francaise de Normalisation (NF), originating from France.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 805A22 vs NF A35-565 100C6 is a 52.6% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 35%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
