DIN EN ISO 4957 1.2379 vs IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr4Mo5H
Related Material — 65% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
DIN EN ISO 4957 1.2379 (DIN EN ISO 4957:2018-11) and IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr4Mo5H (IS 1570 (Part 7):1992) are both steel grades.
DIN EN ISO 4957 1.2379 is classified under Tool & Die Steels, while IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr4Mo5H is classified under Alloy Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below.
DIN EN ISO 4957 1.2379 is typically used for blanking dies, forming dies, thread rolling dies, punches, shear blades, gauges, broaches, drawing dies, while IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr4Mo5H is commonly used for boilers, pressure vessels, steam turbines, steam and water piping and other power plant equipment working at elevated temperature.
DIN EN ISO 4957 1.2379 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr4Mo5H is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, DIN EN ISO 4957 1.2379 vs IS 1570 (Part 7) 12Cr4Mo5H is a 65.8% 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 65%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
