IS 4367 37C15 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 045A10

Related Material — 69.9% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

IS 4367 37C15 (IS 4367:1991) and BS 970 (Part 3) 045A10 (BS 970 (Part 3):1991) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Carbon Steel category. IS 4367 37C15 is typically used for case-hardening steel; used for pins, bushes, and moderately stressed components requiring a hard wear-resistant surface with a tough core, while BS 970 (Part 3) 045A10 is commonly used for bright cold finished bars (cold drawn, turned or precision ground) for general engineering purposes, in straight lengths; case hardening steel, carbon and carbon manganese (table 14). IS 4367 37C15 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while BS 970 (Part 3) 045A10 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.

As per chemical composition, IS 4367 37C15 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 045A10 is a 83% 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 69.9%.
