Strong Match — 97.1% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 17Ni2Cr2Mo2 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) and AISI 8617 are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Alloy Steel category.
IS 11169 (Part 1) 17Ni2Cr2Mo2 is typically used for cold heading and cold extrusion of parts that are case hardened; the standard covers bars, wire rods and wires of 2 to 100 mm (clause 1.1, annex b), while AISI 8617 is commonly used for used for gears, camshafts, transmission parts, pinions, bearings, and heavy-duty mechanical components..
IS 11169 (Part 1) 17Ni2Cr2Mo2 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while AISI 8617 is defined under AISI, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, IS 11169 (Part 1) 17Ni2Cr2Mo2 vs AISI 8617 is a 97.1% 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 97.1%.
Frequently Compared With IS 11169 (Part 1) 17Ni2Cr2Mo2:
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
