IS 6911:1992 X10Cr17Mn6Ni4N20 Steel: Specifications & Listings
IS 6911:1992 X10Cr17Mn6Ni4N20: Austenitic stainless steel X10Cr17Mn6Ni4N20 (numerical symbol 201) to IS 6911:1992 (reaffirmed 1998), made as plate, sheet and strip and normally supplied solution annealed and descaled. Minimum tensile strength annealed is 640 MPa with 0.2% proof stress of 300 MPa.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
