Strong Match — 92.1% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 35Ni5Cr2 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) and BS 970 EN111A (BS 970:1955) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 35Ni5Cr2 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while BS 970 EN111A is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, IS 11169 (Part 1) 35Ni5Cr2 vs BS 970 EN111A is a 92.1% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 92.1%.
Frequently Compared With IS 11169 (Part 1) 35Ni5Cr2:
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
