Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 1570 (Part 7) 3Cr18Ni11H (IS 1570 (Part 7):1992) and ASTM A959 201L (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
IS 1570 (Part 7) 3Cr18Ni11H is typically used for boilers, pressure vessels, steam turbines, steam and water piping and other power plant equipment working at elevated temperature, while ASTM A959 201L is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1).
IS 1570 (Part 7) 3Cr18Ni11H is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while ASTM A959 201L is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, IS 1570 (Part 7) 3Cr18Ni11H vs ASTM A959 201L is a 76.1% 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%.
