Close Alternative — 76.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 4367 40Ni6Cr4Mo3 (IS 4367:1991) and IS 1570 (Part 4) 40Cr5Mo6 (IS 1570 (Part 4):1988) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 4367 40Ni6Cr4Mo3 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while IS 1570 (Part 4) 40Cr5Mo6 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, IS 4367 40Ni6Cr4Mo3 vs IS 1570 (Part 4) 40Cr5Mo6 is a 76.9% 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 76.9%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
