Close Alternative — 70.1% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 4367 15Ni16Cr5 (IS 4367:1991) and BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 4367 15Ni16Cr5 is typically used for aircraft gears, heavy duty gears, transmission shafts, camshafts, automotive components, while BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13 is commonly used for case hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes (table 11 mechanical properties)..
IS 4367 15Ni16Cr5 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, IS 4367 15Ni16Cr5 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13 is a 70.1% 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 70.1%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
