Close Alternative — 71.4% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 30Ni13Cr5 (IS 11169 (Part 1):1984) and BS 970 EN36B (BS 970:1955) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 30Ni13Cr5 is typically used for heavy shafts, axles, connecting rods, large gears, structural components in mining and construction equipment., while BS 970 EN36B is commonly used for case hardened gears and heavily loaded components.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 30Ni13Cr5 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while BS 970 EN36B is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, IS 11169 (Part 1) 30Ni13Cr5 vs BS 970 EN36B is a 71.4% 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 71.4%.
