Minimal Match — 35% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 6911 X04Cr19Ni9 (IS 6911:1992) and ASTM A959 .- (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
IS 6911 X04Cr19Ni9 is typically used for used in food equipment, chemical processing units, kitchenware, tanks, piping, and architectural applications., while ASTM A959 .- is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1).
IS 6911 X04Cr19Ni9 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 6911 X04Cr19Ni9 vs ASTM A959 .- is a 73.9% 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%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
