Related Material — 68.1% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 EN23 (BS 970:1955) and BS 970 (Part 1) 832H13 (BS 970 (Part 1):1991) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 EN23 is typically used for bars and billets for forging; forgings and drop-forgings; bars for machining; bright bars. suitable for 50/60 (s), 55/65 (t), 60/70 (u), 65/75 (v) tons/sq in according to ruling section., while BS 970 (Part 1) 832H13 is commonly used for case hardening steel (section four).
BS 970 EN23 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while BS 970 (Part 1) 832H13 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 EN23 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 832H13 is a 68.1% 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 68.1%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
