Strong Match — 85.6% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
NF A35-552 35CD4 (NF A35-552:1986) and IS 1570 (Part 4) 42Cr4Mo2 (IS 1570 (Part 4):1988) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
NF A35-552 35CD4 is defined under Association Francaise de Normalisation (NF), originating from France, while IS 1570 (Part 4) 42Cr4Mo2 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, NF A35-552 35CD4 vs IS 1570 (Part 4) 42Cr4Mo2 is a 85.6% 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 85.6%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
