BS 970 EN14A vs BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17

Related Material — 65.8% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

BS 970 EN14A (BS 970:1955) and BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 (BS 970 (Part 1):1991) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Alloy Steel category. BS 970 EN14A is typically used for bars and billets for forging; forgings and drop-forgings; bars for machining; bright bars. suitable hardened and tempered for 40/50 (q) and 45/55 (r) tons/sq in according to ruling section; purchaser to state normalised, cold drawn or hardened and tempered q or r. when required as plate, sheet or strip order to bs 1449., while BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 is commonly used for case hardening steel (section four). BS 970 EN14A is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.

As per chemical composition, BS 970 EN14A vs BS 970 (Part 1) 637H17 is a 65.8% match. Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored. Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 65.8%.
