Related Material — 65% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 14C6 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) and BS 970 EN36B (BS 970:1955) are both steel grades.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 14C6 is classified under Carbon Steel, while BS 970 EN36B is classified under Alloy Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 14C6 is typically used for cold heading and cold extrusion of parts not heat treated after cold forming; the standard covers bars, wire rods and wires of 2 to 100 mm (clause 1.1, annex a), while BS 970 EN36B is commonly used for case hardened gears and heavily loaded components.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 14C6 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while BS 970 EN36B is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, IS 11169 (Part 1) 14C6 vs BS 970 EN36B is a 68.5% 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.
