JIS G4053 SNCM220 vs IS 11169 (Part 1) 21Ni2Cr2Mo2

Strong Match — 88.9% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

JIS G4053 SNCM220 (JIS G4053:2008) and IS 11169 (Part 1) 21Ni2Cr2Mo2 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Alloy Steel category. JIS G4053 SNCM220 is typically used for nickel-chromium-molybdenum case-hardening (carburizing) steel; automotive bearings, drive shafts, gears, and components requiring high wear resistance with impact-resistant core, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 21Ni2Cr2Mo2 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). JIS G4053 SNCM220 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 21Ni2Cr2Mo2 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.

As per chemical composition, JIS G4053 SNCM220 vs IS 11169 (Part 1) 21Ni2Cr2Mo2 is a 88.9% match. Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored. Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 88.9%.
