Close Alternative — 84.2% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A959 303Se (ASTM A959:2011) and GB/T 3280 06Cr19Ni10 (GB/T 3280-2015) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
ASTM A959 303Se is typically used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1), while GB/T 3280 06Cr19Ni10 is commonly used for used for kitchen equipment, food processing machinery, chemical tanks, piping, architectural panels, and fasteners..
ASTM A959 303Se is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States, while GB/T 3280 06Cr19Ni10 is defined under Guobiao Standards (GB/T), originating from China.
As per chemical composition, ASTM A959 303Se vs GB/T 3280 06Cr19Ni10 is a 84.2% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 84.2%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
