Strong Match — 92% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10088-1 X17CrNi16-2 (EN 10088-1:2014) and IS 6911 X15Cr16Ni2 (IS 6911:1992) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
EN 10088-1 X17CrNi16-2 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while IS 6911 X15Cr16Ni2 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, EN 10088-1 X17CrNi16-2 vs IS 6911 X15Cr16Ni2 is a 92% 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 92%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
