Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 6911 X10Cr17Mn6Ni4N20 (IS 6911:1992) and ASTM A959 205 (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
IS 6911 X10Cr17Mn6Ni4N20 is typically used for stainless and heat-resisting steel plate, sheet and strip (clause 1.1), while ASTM A959 205 is commonly used for wrought stainless steel products; recommended composition limits for adoption by product standards (clause 1.1).
IS 6911 X10Cr17Mn6Ni4N20 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while ASTM A959 205 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, IS 6911 X10Cr17Mn6Ni4N20 vs ASTM A959 205 is a 72.1% 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%.
