Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
ASTM A959 440FSe (ASTM A959:2011) and GOST 5632 12Kh13 (GOST 5632-2014) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
ASTM A959 440FSe is typically used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1), while GOST 5632 12Kh13 is commonly used for turbine blades, pump shafts, fasteners, cutlery.
ASTM A959 440FSe is defined under ASTM International (United States).
As per chemical composition, ASTM A959 440FSe vs GOST 5632 12Kh13 is a 71.8% 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.
