Strong Match — 97.2% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10088-1 X5CrNi18-10 (EN 10088-1:2014) and UNI 6900 X5CrNi1810 (UNI 6900:1971) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
EN 10088-1 X5CrNi18-10 is typically used for food, chemical, architectural applications, while UNI 6900 X5CrNi1810 is commonly used for used in kitchen equipment, chemical tanks, piping, architectural panels, food processing equipment, and fasteners..
EN 10088-1 X5CrNi18-10 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while UNI 6900 X5CrNi1810 is defined under Ente Nazionale Italiano di Unificazione (UNI), originating from Italy.
As per chemical composition, EN 10088-1 X5CrNi18-10 vs UNI 6900 X5CrNi1810 is a 97.2% 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 97.2%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
