Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G3506 SWRH82B (JIS G3506:2004) and BS 970 (Part 1) 060A32 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Carbon Steel category.
JIS G3506 SWRH82B is typically used for high-carbon hard-drawn steel wire rod (sw-c class, 0.80-0.85% c); used for hard-drawn steel wire, oil-tempered wire, prestressed concrete (pc) wire/strand, galvanized wire strands, wire rope, springs, tire bead wire, 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..
JIS G3506 SWRH82B is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while BS 970 (Part 1) 060A32 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, JIS G3506 SWRH82B vs BS 970 (Part 1) 060A32 is a 79.1% 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.
