Close Alternative — 80.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10088-1 1.4006 (EN 10088-1:2014) and ASTM A959 416Se (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
EN 10088-1 1.4006 is typically used for cutlery, turbine blades, fasteners, surgical instruments, while ASTM A959 416Se is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1).
EN 10088-1 1.4006 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while ASTM A959 416Se is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, EN 10088-1 1.4006 vs ASTM A959 416Se is a 80.7% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 80.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.

Key Differences
EN 10088-1 1.4006 specifies Ni which is not specified for ASTM A959 416Se.
ASTM A959 416Se specifies P, S, Se which are not specified for EN 10088-1 1.4006.
Can EN 10088-1 1.4006 Be Substituted With ASTM A959 416Se?
EN 10088-1 1.4006 and ASTM A959 416Se are a close alternative rather than a direct substitute. Some properties overlap well, but check the specific chemistry and mechanical rows above against your application's requirements before treating them as interchangeable.
