Related Material — 69% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 EN37 (BS 970:1955) and IS 11169 (Part 1) 30Ni13Cr5 (IS 11169 (Part 1):1984) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 EN37 is typically used for bars and billets for forging; forgings and drop-forgings; bars for machining; bright bars. suitable for tensile strength of 40 tons/sq in min., while IS 11169 (Part 1) 30Ni13Cr5 is commonly used for heavy shafts, axles, connecting rods, large gears, structural components in mining and construction equipment..
BS 970 EN37 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 30Ni13Cr5 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 EN37 vs IS 11169 (Part 1) 30Ni13Cr5 is a 69% 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%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
