IS 11169 (Part 1) 25C4 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13

Related Material — 65% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

IS 11169 (Part 1) 25C4 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) and BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13 (BS 970 (Part 1):1991) are both steel grades. IS 11169 (Part 1) 25C4 is classified under Carbon Steel, while BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13 is classified under Alloy Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below. IS 11169 (Part 1) 25C4 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 (Part 1) 655M13 is commonly used for case hardened gears, heavily loaded shafts. IS 11169 (Part 1) 25C4 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.

As per chemical composition, IS 11169 (Part 1) 25C4 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13 is a 69.7% 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%.
