Close Alternative — 78.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 6603 X02Cr23Ni4N (IS 6603:2024) and JIS G4304 SUS323L (JIS G4304:2021) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
IS 6603 X02Cr23Ni4N is typically used for general purposes, semi-finished products, bars, wire rods and bright bars, while JIS G4304 SUS323L is commonly used for hot-rolled stainless steel plates and strips.
IS 6603 X02Cr23Ni4N is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while JIS G4304 SUS323L is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan.
As per chemical composition, IS 6603 X02Cr23Ni4N vs JIS G4304 SUS323L is a 93.1% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 50%.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 78.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
