Strong Match — 86.4% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 EN35B (BS 970:1955) and BS 970 (Part 1) 665H23 (BS 970 (Part 1):1991) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 EN35B is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while BS 970 (Part 1) 665H23 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 EN35B vs BS 970 (Part 1) 665H23 is a 86.4% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 86.4%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
