Strong Match — 99.1% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10088-2 X12Cr13 (EN 10088-2:2014) and IS 11169 (Part 2) X12Cr13 (IS 11169 (Part 2):2023) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
EN 10088-2 X12Cr13 is typically used for general purposes, hot or cold rolled sheet/plate and strip, while IS 11169 (Part 2) X12Cr13 is commonly used for cold heading and cold extrusion of stainless steel parts; the standard covers wires, wire rods and bars of 0.8 to 100 mm (clause 1.1, table 14).
EN 10088-2 X12Cr13 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while IS 11169 (Part 2) X12Cr13 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, EN 10088-2 X12Cr13 vs IS 11169 (Part 2) X12Cr13 is a 98.6% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 100%.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 99.1%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
