EN 10088-2 X6CrNiNb18-10 vs ASTM A959 .-

Minimal Match — 35% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

EN 10088-2 X6CrNiNb18-10 (EN 10088-2:2014) and ASTM A959 .- (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Stainless Steel category. EN 10088-2 X6CrNiNb18-10 is typically used for general purposes, hot or cold rolled sheet/plate and strip, while ASTM A959 .- is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1). EN 10088-2 X6CrNiNb18-10 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while ASTM A959 .- is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.

As per chemical composition, EN 10088-2 X6CrNiNb18-10 vs ASTM A959 .- is a 63.4% match. Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored. Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 35%.
