Related Material — 65% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
AISI D2 KNL (ASTM A681) and DIN 17200 30CrMoV9 (DIN 17200:1986) are both steel grades.
AISI D2 KNL is classified under Tool & Die Steels, while DIN 17200 30CrMoV9 is classified under Alloy Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below.
AISI D2 KNL is typically used for blanking dies, forming dies, thread rolling dies, punches, shear blades, gauges, broaches, drawing dies, while DIN 17200 30CrMoV9 is commonly used for power generation components, rotors, turbine parts.
AISI D2 KNL is defined under AISI, originating from United States, while DIN 17200 30CrMoV9 is defined under Deutsches Institut fur Normung (DIN), originating from Germany.
As per chemical composition, AISI D2 KNL vs DIN 17200 30CrMoV9 is a 68.1% 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 65%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
