Close Alternative — 77.1% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A959 304L (ASTM A959:2011) and GOST 5632 08X18H10 (GOST 5632-2014) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
ASTM A959 304L is typically used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1), while GOST 5632 08X18H10 is commonly used for chemical equipment, food processing, general corrosion resistant applications.
ASTM A959 304L is defined under ASTM International (United States).
As per chemical composition, ASTM A959 304L vs GOST 5632 08X18H10 is a 77.1% 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 77.1%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
