IS 6911:1992 X10Cr17Ni7 Steel: Specifications & Listings
IS 6911:1992 X10Cr17Ni7: Austenitic stainless steel X10Cr17Ni7 (numerical symbol 301) to IS 6911:1992 (reaffirmed 1998), made as plate, sheet and strip and normally supplied solution annealed and descaled. Minimum tensile strength annealed is 590 MPa with 0.2% proof stress of 220 MPa.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
