Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 11169 (Part 2) X02Ni18Cr16 (IS 11169 (Part 2):2023) and ASTM A959 301LN (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
IS 11169 (Part 2) X02Ni18Cr16 is typically used for cold heading and cold extrusion of stainless steel parts; the standard covers wires, wire rods and bars of 0.8 to 50 mm (clause 1.1, table 11), while ASTM A959 301LN is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1).
IS 11169 (Part 2) X02Ni18Cr16 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while ASTM A959 301LN is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, IS 11169 (Part 2) X02Ni18Cr16 vs ASTM A959 301LN is a 78.5% 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%.
