IS 1570 (Part 7) 25Cr2MoVH vs ASTM A240/A240M S42200
Related Material — 62.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 1570 (Part 7) 25Cr2MoVH (IS 1570 (Part 7):1992) and ASTM A240/A240M S42200 (ASTM A240/A240M:2025) are both steel grades.
IS 1570 (Part 7) 25Cr2MoVH is classified under Alloy Steel, while ASTM A240/A240M S42200 is classified under Stainless Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below.
IS 1570 (Part 7) 25Cr2MoVH is typically used for boilers, pressure vessels, steam turbines, steam and water piping and other power plant equipment working at elevated temperature, while ASTM A240/A240M S42200 is commonly used for pressure vessels and general applications (plate, sheet and strip).
IS 1570 (Part 7) 25Cr2MoVH is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while ASTM A240/A240M S42200 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, IS 1570 (Part 7) 25Cr2MoVH vs ASTM A240/A240M S42200 is a 62.7% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 62.7%.
