BS 970 (Part 3) 316S11 vs EN 10088-3 X2CrNiMo17-12-2

Strong Match — 93.1% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

BS 970 (Part 3) 316S11 (BS 970 (Part 3):1991) and EN 10088-3 X2CrNiMo17-12-2 (EN 10088-3:2014) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Stainless Steel category. BS 970 (Part 3) 316S11 is typically used for bright cold finished bars (cold drawn, turned or precision ground) for general engineering purposes, in straight lengths; austenitic stainless and heat resisting steel (table 18), while EN 10088-3 X2CrNiMo17-12-2 is commonly used for general purposes, semi-finished products, bars, rods, wire, sections and bright products. BS 970 (Part 3) 316S11 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom, while EN 10088-3 X2CrNiMo17-12-2 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.

As per chemical composition, BS 970 (Part 3) 316S11 vs EN 10088-3 X2CrNiMo17-12-2 is a 93.1% 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 93.1%.
