EN 10088-2 X6CrNiTi12 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 403S17

Close Alternative — 74.1% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

EN 10088-2 X6CrNiTi12 (EN 10088-2:2014) and BS 970 (Part 3) 403S17 (BS 970 (Part 3):1991) are both steel grades. Both fall under the Stainless Steel category. EN 10088-2 X6CrNiTi12 is typically used for general purposes, hot or cold rolled sheet/plate and strip, while BS 970 (Part 3) 403S17 is commonly used for bright cold finished bars (cold drawn, turned or precision ground) for general engineering purposes, in straight lengths; ferritic stainless steel (table 17). EN 10088-2 X6CrNiTi12 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while BS 970 (Part 3) 403S17 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.

As per chemical composition, EN 10088-2 X6CrNiTi12 vs BS 970 (Part 3) 403S17 is a 74.1% match. Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored. Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 74.1%.
