Close Alternative — 74.6% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 (Part 1) 835M30 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) and EN 10083-3 30NiCrMo16-6 (EN 10083-3:2006) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 (Part 1) 835M30 is typically used for through hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes; supplied in the hardened and tempered conditions of table 6., while EN 10083-3 30NiCrMo16-6 is commonly used for quenched and tempered, flame or induction hardened machine parts (clause 1).
BS 970 (Part 1) 835M30 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while EN 10083-3 30NiCrMo16-6 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 835M30 vs EN 10083-3 30NiCrMo16-6 is a 74.6% 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 74.6%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
