Close Alternative — 73% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 1570 (Part 6) T118Cr2 (IS 1570 (Part 6):1996) and EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 (EN ISO 683-17:2014) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Tool & Die Steels category.
IS 1570 (Part 6) T118Cr2 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, IS 1570 (Part 6) T118Cr2 vs EN ISO 683-17 100Cr6 is a 73% 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 73%.
Frequently Compared With IS 1570 (Part 6) T118Cr2:
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
