GOST 1414 A35 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 216M36

Close Alternative — 84.9% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

GOST 1414 A35 (GOST 1414-1975) and BS 970 (Part 3) 216M36 (BS 970 (Part 3):1991) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Free Machining Steel category. GOST 1414 A35 is typically used for used for screws, nuts, bushings, fittings, and precision turned components., while BS 970 (Part 3) 216M36 is commonly used for bright cold finished bars (cold drawn, turned or precision ground) for general engineering purposes, in straight lengths; free-cutting steel (table 12). BS 970 (Part 3) 216M36 is defined under British Standards (BS) (United Kingdom).

As per chemical composition, GOST 1414 A35 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 216M36 is a 85.2% match. Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored. Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 84.9%.
