Close Alternative — 71.3% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 34C14BT (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) and SAE J404 5132 (SAE J404:2000) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 34C14BT 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 SAE J404 5132 is commonly used for chemistry-only alloy steel grade; see the composition notes for product scope.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 34C14BT is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while SAE J404 5132 is defined under SAE International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, IS 11169 (Part 1) 34C14BT vs SAE J404 5132 is a 71.3% 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 71.3%.
Frequently Compared With IS 11169 (Part 1) 34C14BT:
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
