Close Alternative — 71.5% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 1570 (Part 7) 16Mo3H (IS 1570 (Part 7):1992) and EN 10028-2 16Mo3 (EN 10028-2:2017) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 1570 (Part 7) 16Mo3H is typically used for boilers, pressure vessels, steam turbines, steam and water piping and other power plant equipment working at elevated temperature, while EN 10028-2 16Mo3 is commonly used for flat products for pressure purposes.
IS 1570 (Part 7) 16Mo3H is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while EN 10028-2 16Mo3 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, IS 1570 (Part 7) 16Mo3H vs EN 10028-2 16Mo3 is a 90.6% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 33.3%.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 71.5%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
