Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 30C7 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) and BS 970 (Part 1) 045M10 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Carbon Steel category.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 30C7 is typically used for cold heading and cold extrusion of parts that are quenched and tempered; the standard covers bars, wire rods and wires of 2 to 100 mm (clause 1.1, annex c), while BS 970 (Part 1) 045M10 is commonly used for case hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes (table 11 mechanical properties)..
IS 11169 (Part 1) 30C7 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while BS 970 (Part 1) 045M10 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, IS 11169 (Part 1) 30C7 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 045M10 is a 77% 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 69.9%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
