Close Alternative — 78% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 (Part 1) 835H15 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) and BS 970 (Part 1) 835M30 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 (Part 1) 835H15 is typically used for case hardening steel supplied to specified hardenability limits (end quench test, table 10)., while BS 970 (Part 1) 835M30 is commonly used for through hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes; supplied in the hardened and tempered conditions of table 6..
BS 970 (Part 1) 835H15 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while BS 970 (Part 1) 835M30 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 835H15 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 835M30 is a 78% 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 78%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
