BS 970 (Part 1) 316S11 vs EN 10088-2 X2CrNiMo17-12-2

Strong Match — 91.7% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

BS 970 (Part 1) 316S11 (BS 970 (Part 1):1983) and EN 10088-2 X2CrNiMo17-12-2 (EN 10088-2:2014) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Stainless Steel category. BS 970 (Part 1) 316S11 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 EN 10088-2 X2CrNiMo17-12-2 is commonly used for general purposes, hot or cold rolled sheet/plate and strip. BS 970 (Part 1) 316S11 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while EN 10088-2 X2CrNiMo17-12-2 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.

As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 316S11 vs EN 10088-2 X2CrNiMo17-12-2 is a 91.7% match. Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored. Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 91.7%.
