IS 11169 (Part 1) 2C3 vs ASTM A959 S31002

Related Material — 64.7% match based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.

IS 11169 (Part 1) 2C3 (IS 11169 (Part 1):2022) and ASTM A959 S31002 (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades. IS 11169 (Part 1) 2C3 is classified under Carbon Steel, while ASTM A959 S31002 is classified under Stainless Steel — a different category, which is worth noting alongside the chemistry match below. IS 11169 (Part 1) 2C3 is typically used for cold heading and cold extrusion of parts not heat treated after cold forming; the standard covers bars, wire rods and wires of 2 to 100 mm (clause 1.1, annex a), while ASTM A959 S31002 is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1). IS 11169 (Part 1) 2C3 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while ASTM A959 S31002 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.

As per chemical composition, IS 11169 (Part 1) 2C3 vs ASTM A959 S31002 is a 64.7% 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 64.7%.
