Strong Match — 95.4% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 1570 (Part 2/Sec 1) 30C8 (IS 1570 (Part 2/Sec 1):1979) and SAE J403 1029 (SAE J403:2001) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Carbon Steel category.
IS 1570 (Part 2/Sec 1) 30C8 is typically used for billets and bars for forgings, carbon steel forgings, flame and induction hardened parts, hardened and tempered parts and welded round link chains (the standard links this grade to is 1875, is 2004, is 3930, is 5517, is 6967), while SAE J403 1029 is commonly used for chemistry-only grade; product scope as listed in the composition notes.
IS 1570 (Part 2/Sec 1) 30C8 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while SAE J403 1029 is defined under SAE International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, IS 1570 (Part 2/Sec 1) 30C8 vs SAE J403 1029 is a 95.4% 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 95.4%.
Frequently Compared With IS 1570 (Part 2/Sec 1) 30C8:
