Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 (Part 1) 310S31 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) and GOST 5632 08X18H10 (GOST 5632-2014) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
BS 970 (Part 1) 310S31 is typically used for austenitic stainless and heat resisting steel for mechanical and allied engineering purposes (table 14, with table 15 for the cold drawn condition)., while GOST 5632 08X18H10 is commonly used for chemical equipment, food processing, general corrosion resistant applications.
BS 970 (Part 1) 310S31 is defined under British Standards (BS) (United Kingdom).
As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 310S31 vs GOST 5632 08X18H10 is a 65.6% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 35%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
