Strong Match — 85.6% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 EN36C (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 EN36C is typically used for used for gears, camshafts, pinions, heavy-duty shafts, aerospace transmission parts, and worm drives., while BS 970 (Part 1) 832H13 is commonly used for case hardening steel (section four).
BS 970 EN36C 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 EN36C vs BS 970 (Part 1) 832H13 is a 85.6% 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 85.6%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
