Close Alternative — 78.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4304 SUS323L (JIS G4304:2021) and IS 6603 X02Cr23Ni4N (IS 6603:2024) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Stainless Steel category.
JIS G4304 SUS323L is typically used for hot-rolled stainless steel plates and strips, while IS 6603 X02Cr23Ni4N is commonly used for general purposes, semi-finished products, bars, wire rods and bright bars.
JIS G4304 SUS323L is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while IS 6603 X02Cr23Ni4N is defined under Bureau of Indian Standards (IS), originating from India.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4304 SUS323L vs IS 6603 X02Cr23Ni4N is a 93.1% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 50%.
Combined, this makes them a close alternative overall at 78.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
