Strong Match — 89% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13 (BS 970 (Part 3):1991) and IS 4367 13Ni13Cr3 (IS 4367:1991) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13 is typically used for bright cold finished bars (cold drawn, turned or precision ground) for general engineering purposes, in straight lengths; alloy case hardening steel (table 15), while IS 4367 13Ni13Cr3 is commonly used for gears, pinion gears, camshafts, transmission parts, aircraft components, heavy duty shafts.
BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while IS 4367 13Ni13Cr3 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13 vs IS 4367 13Ni13Cr3 is a 89% 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 89%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
