Strong Match — 92% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10088-2 X6Cr13 (EN 10088-2:2014) and ASTM A959 416Se (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
EN 10088-2 X6Cr13 is typically used for general purposes, hot or cold rolled sheet/plate and strip, while ASTM A959 416Se is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1).
EN 10088-2 X6Cr13 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while ASTM A959 416Se is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, EN 10088-2 X6Cr13 vs ASTM A959 416Se is a 92% 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%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
