Related Material — 56.8% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 EN54A (BS 970:1955) and IS 4367 40Ni10Cr3Mo6 (IS 4367:1991) are both steel grades.
BS 970 EN54A is classified under Stainless Steel, while IS 4367 40Ni10Cr3Mo6 is classified under Alloy Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below.
BS 970 EN54A is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while IS 4367 40Ni10Cr3Mo6 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 EN54A vs IS 4367 40Ni10Cr3Mo6 is a 56.8% 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 56.8%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
