Close Alternative — 84.3% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10088-1 X6CrMoS17 (EN 10088-1:2014) and IS 6603 X14Cr17S (IS 6603:2024) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
EN 10088-1 X6CrMoS17 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while IS 6603 X14Cr17S is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, EN 10088-1 X6CrMoS17 vs IS 6603 X14Cr17S is a 84.3% 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 84.3%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
