Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 (Part 1) 316S31 (BS 970 (Part 1):1991) and GOST 5632 06Kh23N28 (GOST 5632-2014) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
BS 970 (Part 1) 316S31 is typically used for austenitic stainless and heat resisting steel (section five), while GOST 5632 06Kh23N28 is commonly used for furnace components, heat exchangers, high temperature applications.
BS 970 (Part 1) 316S31 is defined under British Standards (BS) (United Kingdom).
As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 1) 316S31 vs GOST 5632 06Kh23N28 is a 60.5% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 33.3%.
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.
