Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 EN49A (BS 970:1955) and IS 3195 113C6 (IS 3195:1992) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Spring Steel category.
BS 970 EN49A is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while IS 3195 113C6 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 EN49A vs IS 3195 113C6 is a 83% 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 69.9%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
