Close Alternative — 79.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 5517 40C8 (IS 5517:1993) and BS 970 (Part 1) 060A32 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Carbon Steel category.
IS 5517 40C8 is typically used for crankshafts, couplings, bolts, spindles, axles, gears, while BS 970 (Part 1) 060A32 is commonly used for through hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes; supplied in the hardened and tempered conditions of table 6..
IS 5517 40C8 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while BS 970 (Part 1) 060A32 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, IS 5517 40C8 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 060A32 is a 79.7% 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 79.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
Through hardening steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes; supplied in the hardened and tempered conditions of Table 6.
Key Differences
