based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
EN 10088-3 X39CrMo17-1 (EN 10088-3:2014) and BS 970 (Part 1) 416S21 (BS 970 (Part 1):1991) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
EN 10088-3 X39CrMo17-1 is typically used for general purposes, semi-finished products, bars, rods, wire, sections and bright products, while BS 970 (Part 1) 416S21 is commonly used for ferritic and martensitic stainless and heat resisting steel (section five).
EN 10088-3 X39CrMo17-1 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe, while BS 970 (Part 1) 416S21 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, EN 10088-3 X39CrMo17-1 vs BS 970 (Part 1) 416S21 is a 71.3% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a related material overall at 69.9%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
