Minimal Match — 34.3% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 EN30A (BS 970:1955) and EN 10028-2 10CrMo9-10 (EN 10028-2:2017) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 EN30A is typically used for used for gears, aircraft components, transmission shafts, heavy-duty pinions, crankshafts, and high-strength fasteners., while EN 10028-2 10CrMo9-10 is commonly used for flat products for pressure purposes.
BS 970 EN30A is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while EN 10028-2 10CrMo9-10 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 EN30A vs EN 10028-2 10CrMo9-10 is a 51.4% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 0%.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 34.3%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
