Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
BS 970 EN58D (BS 970:1955) and EN 10088-1 X12Cr13 (EN 10088-1:2014) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
BS 970 EN58D is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while EN 10088-1 X12Cr13 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, BS 970 EN58D vs EN 10088-1 X12Cr13 is a 75.1% 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.
