Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 4432 14CrNi6-S (IS 4432:1988) and BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 4432 14CrNi6-S is typically used for forgings and fabrication of case-hardened machine or automobile parts, while BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13 is commonly used for case hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes (table 11 mechanical properties)..
IS 4432 14CrNi6-S 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 4432 14CrNi6-S vs BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13 is a 70.5% 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%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
