JIS G4102 SNC815 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13

Strong Match — 87.3% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

JIS G4102 SNC815 (JIS G 4102:1979) and BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13 (BS 970 (Part 3):1991) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Alloy Steel category. JIS G4102 SNC815 is typically used for heavily stressed gears, differential components, while BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13 is commonly used for bright cold finished bars (cold drawn, turned or precision ground) for general engineering purposes, in straight lengths; alloy case hardening steel (table 15). JIS G4102 SNC815 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.

As per chemical composition, JIS G4102 SNC815 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 655M13 is a 87.3% 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 87.3%.
