Strong Match — 98.6% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 (Part 1) 665H20 (BS 970 (Part 1):1991) and BS 970 (Part 1) 665H20 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 (Part 1) 665H20 is typically used for case hardening steel (section four), while BS 970 (Part 1) 665H20 is commonly used for case hardening steel supplied to specified hardenability limits (end quench test, table 10)..
BS 970 (Part 1) 665H20 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while BS 970 (Part 1) 665H20 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 665H20 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 665H20 is a 98.6% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 98.6%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
