Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 11169 (Part 2) X03Cr17Ni12Mo3 (IS 11169 (Part 2):2023) and ASTM A959 .- (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
IS 11169 (Part 2) X03Cr17Ni12Mo3 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 .- is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1).
IS 11169 (Part 2) X03Cr17Ni12Mo3 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while ASTM A959 .- is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, IS 11169 (Part 2) X03Cr17Ni12Mo3 vs ASTM A959 .- is a 58.9% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a minimal match overall at 35%.
Frequently Compared With IS 11169 (Part 2) X03Cr17Ni12Mo3:
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
