Strong Match — 85.2% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 (Part 1) 822H17 (BS 970 (Part 1):1991) and BS 970 EN355 (BS 970:1955) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 (Part 1) 822H17 is typically used for case hardening steel (section four), while BS 970 EN355 is commonly used for bars and billets for forging; forgings and drop-forgings; bars for machining; bright bars. suitable for tensile strength 85 tons/sq in min..
BS 970 (Part 1) 822H17 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while BS 970 EN355 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 822H17 vs BS 970 EN355 is a 85.2% 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 85.2%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
