BS 970 EN351 vs EN 10084 20NiCrMoS2-2

Related Material — 68.7% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

BS 970 EN351 (BS 970:1955) and EN 10084 20NiCrMoS2-2 (EN 10084:2008) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Alloy Steel category. BS 970 EN351 is typically used for bars and billets for forging; forgings and drop-forgings; bars for machining; bright bars. suitable for tensile strength 45 tons/sq in min., while EN 10084 20NiCrMoS2-2 is commonly used for case hardened machine parts: carburized or carbonitrided, then hardened (clause 3.1). BS 970 EN351 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while EN 10084 20NiCrMoS2-2 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.

As per chemical composition, BS 970 EN351 vs EN 10084 20NiCrMoS2-2 is a 68.7% 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 68.7%.
