Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
DIN 17200 30CrMoV9 (DIN 17200:1986) and BS 970 (Part 1) 708A30 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
DIN 17200 30CrMoV9 is typically used for power generation components, rotors, turbine parts, while BS 970 (Part 1) 708A30 is commonly used for through hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes; supplied in the hardened and tempered conditions of table 6..
DIN 17200 30CrMoV9 is defined under Deutsches Institut fur Normung (DIN), originating from Germany, while BS 970 (Part 1) 708A30 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, DIN 17200 30CrMoV9 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 708A30 is a 70.6% 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%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
