Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
DIN 17200 28Mn6 (DIN 17200:1986) and BS 970 (Part 3) 045A10 (BS 970 (Part 3):1991) 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 3) 045A10 is commonly used for bright cold finished bars (cold drawn, turned or precision ground) for general engineering purposes, in straight lengths; case hardening steel, carbon and carbon manganese (table 14).
DIN 17200 28Mn6 is defined under Deutsches Institut fur Normung (DIN), originating from Germany, while BS 970 (Part 3) 045A10 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, DIN 17200 28Mn6 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 045A10 is a 83.1% 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.
