DIN 17200 28Mn6 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 045A10

Related Material — 69.9% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

DIN 17200 28Mn6 (DIN 17200:1986) and BS 970 (Part 1) 045A10 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Carbon Steel category. DIN 17200 28Mn6 is typically used for unalloyed manganese carbon steel for quenching and tempering; shafts and machine components requiring good hardenability, moderate strength, while BS 970 (Part 1) 045A10 is commonly used for case hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes (table 11 mechanical properties).. DIN 17200 28Mn6 is defined under Deutsches Institut fur Normung (DIN), originating from Germany, while BS 970 (Part 1) 045A10 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.

As per chemical composition, DIN 17200 28Mn6 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 045A10 is a 79.6% 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%.
