Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 EN22 (BS 970:1955) and BS 970 EN111A (BS 970:1955) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 EN22 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while BS 970 EN111A is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 EN22 vs BS 970 EN111A is a 73.6% 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 69.9%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
