Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 6911 X108Cr17Mo (IS 6911:1992) and BS 970 (Part 1) 416S21 (BS 970 (Part 1):1991) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
IS 6911 X108Cr17Mo is typically used for stainless and heat-resisting steel plate, sheet and strip (clause 1.1), while BS 970 (Part 1) 416S21 is commonly used for ferritic and martensitic stainless and heat resisting steel (section five).
IS 6911 X108Cr17Mo is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while BS 970 (Part 1) 416S21 is defined under British Standards (BS), originating from United Kingdom.
As per chemical composition, IS 6911 X108Cr17Mo vs BS 970 (Part 1) 416S21 is a 72.2% 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%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
