Designations and composition limits are taken from the linked mill, maker and cross-reference pages below, each fetched and checked in October 2026. Gaps remain: † marks a value confirmed in one source only, “Not rated” means the designation is confirmed but its limits are not, and IS 6911 names are the pre-2026 designations (the 2026 revision renamed them and the new names are not yet sourced).

Equivalents are for sourcing guidance only. Verify against the governing specification and the mill test certificate (MTC) before ordering or substituting a grade.

Frequently asked questions

What is the European equivalent of 316L?

EN 1.4404 (X2CrNiMo17-12-2). Other names for the same family are UNS S31603, JIS SUS316L, GB 022Cr17Ni12Mo2 and BS 316S11. JIS SUS316L allows more nickel (12 to 15 %) than ASTM 316L (10 to 14 %), so the tool rates that pair approximate rather than close.

What is the Indian Standard equivalent of SS304?

IS 6911 X04Cr19Ni9. IS 6911 was revised in 2026 with new grade names, so check the current designation with your supplier; the tool shows the earlier name with a note.

What is the EN equivalent of ASTM A105?

The nearest European grade is P250GH (1.0460) to EN 10222-2 for forgings; C22.8 is its older DIN name. The two standards set different limits on chemistry and strength, so compare them in the tool and name the governing standard on the order.

Are equivalent steel grades interchangeable?

Not automatically. Equivalents are the nearest grades in another standard; limits on carbon, nickel, molybdenum and strength can differ. The tool compares the ranges element by element and flags where they do not overlap. Substitution needs the buyer's or engineer's approval.
