IS 11169 (Part 1) 40C15 vs EN 10083-1 3C40

Close Alternative — 72.7% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

IS 11169 (Part 1) 40C15 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) and EN 10083-1 3C40 (EN 10083-1:1991) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Carbon Steel category. IS 11169 (Part 1) 40C15 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 EN 10083-1 3C40 is commonly used for quenched and tempered machine parts; non alloy steels also normalized (clause 1). IS 11169 (Part 1) 40C15 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while EN 10083-1 3C40 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.

As per chemical composition, IS 11169 (Part 1) 40C15 vs EN 10083-1 3C40 is a 72.7% 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 72.7%.
