Close Alternative — 84.6% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10088-2 X6Cr17 (EN 10088-2:2014) and IS 11169 (Part 2) X07Cr17 (IS 11169 (Part 2):1989) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
EN 10088-2 X6Cr17 is typically used for general purposes, hot or cold rolled sheet/plate and strip, while IS 11169 (Part 2) X07Cr17 is commonly used for cold heading and cold extrusion; the standard covers wires, wire rods and bars (clause 1.1).
EN 10088-2 X6Cr17 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while IS 11169 (Part 2) X07Cr17 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, EN 10088-2 X6Cr17 vs IS 11169 (Part 2) X07Cr17 is a 95.5% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 62.7%.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 84.6%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
