Close Alternative — 79.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 1570 (Part 5) X15Cr25N (IS 1570 (Part 5):1985) and EN 10088-1 X18CrN28 (EN 10088-1:2023) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
IS 1570 (Part 5) X15Cr25N is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while EN 10088-1 X18CrN28 is defined under European Standard (EN), originating from Europe.
As per chemical composition, IS 1570 (Part 5) X15Cr25N vs EN 10088-1 X18CrN28 is a 79.9% match.
Mechanical property data is not available for both grades, so this factor could not be scored.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 79.9%.
Frequently Compared With IS 1570 (Part 5) X15Cr25N:
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
