IS 1570 (Part 2/Sec 1) 5C4 vs IS 11169 (Part 1) 4C2

Strong Match — 97.1% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

IS 1570 (Part 2/Sec 1) 5C4 (IS 1570 (Part 2/Sec 1):1979) and IS 11169 (Part 1) 4C2 (IS 11169 (Part 1):1984) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Carbon Steel category. IS 1570 (Part 2/Sec 1) 5C4 is typically used for rivet wire for the bearing industry and bearing cage strip (the standard links this grade to is 4882, is 4397), while IS 11169 (Part 1) 4C2 is commonly used for cold heading and cold extrusion; the standard covers wires, wire rods and bars of 2 to 100 mm diameter (clause 1.1). IS 1570 (Part 2/Sec 1) 5C4 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 4C2 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.

As per chemical composition, IS 1570 (Part 2/Sec 1) 5C4 vs IS 11169 (Part 1) 4C2 is a 97.1% 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 97.1%.
