Strong Match — 92.5% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10088-1 X6CrAl13 (EN 10088-1:2023) and IS 1570 (Part 5) X04Cr12 (IS 1570 (Part 5):1985) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
EN 10088-1 X6CrAl13 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while IS 1570 (Part 5) X04Cr12 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, EN 10088-1 X6CrAl13 vs IS 1570 (Part 5) X04Cr12 is a 92.5% 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 92.5%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
