Close Alternative — 74.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 1570 (Part 5) X85Cr18Mo2V (IS 1570 (Part 5):1985) and ASTM A959 440A (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
IS 1570 (Part 5) X85Cr18Mo2V is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while ASTM A959 440A is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, IS 1570 (Part 5) X85Cr18Mo2V vs ASTM A959 440A is a 74.9% 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 74.9%.
Frequently Compared With IS 1570 (Part 5) X85Cr18Mo2V:
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
