Strong Match — 96.4% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10088-1 X2CrNiMoSi18-5-3 (EN 10088-1:2023) and ASTM A959 S31500 (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
EN 10088-1 X2CrNiMoSi18-5-3 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while ASTM A959 S31500 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, EN 10088-1 X2CrNiMoSi18-5-3 vs ASTM A959 S31500 is a 96.4% 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 96.4%.
Frequently Compared With EN 10088-1 X2CrNiMoSi18-5-3:
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
