Strong Match — 92.2% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
AISI 8615 and IS 11169 (Part 1) 17Ni2Cr2Mo2 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
AISI 8615 is typically used for used for gears, shafts, pinions, bushings, transmission parts, and carburized machinery components., while IS 11169 (Part 1) 17Ni2Cr2Mo2 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).
AISI 8615 is defined under AISI, originating from United States, while IS 11169 (Part 1) 17Ni2Cr2Mo2 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, AISI 8615 vs IS 11169 (Part 1) 17Ni2Cr2Mo2 is a 92.2% 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 92.2%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
