Strong Match — 94% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 EN111A (BS 970:1955) and IS 5517 35Ni5Cr2 (IS 5517:1993) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 EN111A is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while IS 5517 35Ni5Cr2 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 EN111A vs IS 5517 35Ni5Cr2 is a 94% 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 94%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
