Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A276/A276M S31100 (ASTM A276/A276M:2017) and IS 6911 X40Cr13 (IS 6911:1992) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
ASTM A276/A276M S31100 is typically used for stainless steel bars and shapes (hot-finished or cold-finished), while IS 6911 X40Cr13 is commonly used for stainless and heat-resisting steel plate, sheet and strip (clause 1.1).
ASTM A276/A276M S31100 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States, while IS 6911 X40Cr13 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, ASTM A276/A276M S31100 vs IS 6911 X40Cr13 is a 70.2% 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 69.9%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
