Related Material — 68.3% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 5517 40Ni14 (IS 5517:1993) and BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 5517 40Ni14 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 5517 40Ni14 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 655M13 is a 68.3% 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 68.3%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
