Strong Match — 88.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 3195 113C6 (IS 3195:1992) and BS 970 EN44 (BS 970:1955) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Spring Steel category.
IS 3195 113C6 is typically used for volute and helical springs for railway rolling stock; flats and rounds, springs worked hot and heat-treated (clause 1.1, foreword), while BS 970 EN44 is commonly used for bars for oil hardening and tempering..
IS 3195 113C6 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while BS 970 EN44 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, IS 3195 113C6 vs BS 970 EN44 is a 88.7% 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 88.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
