IS 11169 (Part 1) 13Ni14Cr3 vs BS 970 EN36A

Close Alternative — 83.2% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

IS 11169 (Part 1) 13Ni14Cr3 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) and BS 970 EN36A (BS 970:1955) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Alloy Steel category. IS 11169 (Part 1) 13Ni14Cr3 is typically used for cold heading and cold extrusion of parts that are case hardened; the standard covers bars, wire rods and wires of 2 to 100 mm (clause 1.1, annex b), while BS 970 EN36A is commonly used for bars and billets for forging; forgings and drop-forgings; bars for machining; bright bars. suitable for tensile strengths of 55 (en 36a) and 65 (en 36b, en 36c) tons/sq in min.. IS 11169 (Part 1) 13Ni14Cr3 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while BS 970 EN36A is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.

As per chemical composition, IS 11169 (Part 1) 13Ni14Cr3 vs BS 970 EN36A is a 83.2% 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 83.2%.
