IS 4432 20Ni7Cr2Mo2 vs IS 11169 (Part 1) 20Ni2Cr2Mo3
Close Alternative — 79.6% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 4432 20Ni7Cr2Mo2 (IS 4432:1988) and IS 11169 (Part 1) 20Ni2Cr2Mo3 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 4432 20Ni7Cr2Mo2 is typically used for forgings and fabrication of case-hardened machine or automobile parts, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 20Ni2Cr2Mo3 is commonly used for cold heading and cold extrusion of parts that are case hardened; the standard covers bars, wire rods and wires of 2 to 100 mm (clause 1.1, annex b).
IS 4432 20Ni7Cr2Mo2 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 20Ni2Cr2Mo3 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, IS 4432 20Ni7Cr2Mo2 vs IS 11169 (Part 1) 20Ni2Cr2Mo3 is a 79.6% 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 79.6%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
