BS 970 (Part 3) 805M20 vs EN 10084 20NiCrMo2-2

Strong Match — 92.5% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

BS 970 (Part 3) 805M20 (BS 970 (Part 3):1991) and EN 10084 20NiCrMo2-2 (EN 10084:2008) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Alloy Steel category. BS 970 (Part 3) 805M20 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 EN 10084 20NiCrMo2-2 is commonly used for gears, shafts and automotive transmission components. BS 970 (Part 3) 805M20 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while EN 10084 20NiCrMo2-2 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.

As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 3) 805M20 vs EN 10084 20NiCrMo2-2 is a 92.5% 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 92.5%.
