Related Material — 69.9% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
IS 6911 X40Cr13 (IS 6911:1992) and ASTM A959 SS310 (ASTM A959:2011) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
IS 6911 X40Cr13 is typically used for stainless and heat-resisting steel plate, sheet and strip (clause 1.1), while ASTM A959 SS310 is commonly used for furnace parts, heat exchangers, kiln components.
IS 6911 X40Cr13 is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India, while ASTM A959 SS310 is defined under ASTM International, originating from United States.
As per chemical composition, IS 6911 X40Cr13 vs ASTM A959 SS310 is a 70.1% 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%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
