Minimal Match — 47.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 16Mn5Cr5 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) and UNI 11234 100Cr6 (UNI 11234:2007) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 16Mn5Cr5 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 UNI 11234 100Cr6 is commonly used for ball bearings,roller bearings,needle bearings,dies,punches,gauges,wear resistant components.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 16Mn5Cr5 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while UNI 11234 100Cr6 is defined under Ente Nazionale Italiano di Unificazione (UNI), originating from Italy.
As per chemical composition, IS 11169 (Part 1) 16Mn5Cr5 vs UNI 11234 100Cr6 is a 71.6% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 0%.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 47.7%.
Frequently Compared With IS 11169 (Part 1) 16Mn5Cr5:
