Related Material — 69.5% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 EN351 (BS 970:1955) and EN 10084 20NiCrMo2-2 (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 20NiCrMo2-2 is commonly used for gears, shafts and automotive transmission components.
BS 970 EN351 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while EN 10084 20NiCrMo2-2 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 EN351 vs EN 10084 20NiCrMo2-2 is a 69.5% 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 69.5%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
