EN 10084 C16R vs BS 970 (Part 1) 060A72

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

EN 10084 C16R (EN 10084:2008) and BS 970 (Part 1) 060A72 (BS 970 (Part 1):1991) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Carbon Steel category. EN 10084 C16R is typically used for case hardened machine parts: carburized or carbonitrided, then hardened (clause 3.1), while BS 970 (Part 1) 060A72 is commonly used for as-rolled, or as-rolled and softened, steel (section two). EN 10084 C16R is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while BS 970 (Part 1) 060A72 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.

As per chemical composition, EN 10084 C16R vs BS 970 (Part 1) 060A72 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%.
