Product Description
Stainless steel 201 plate has good formability, corrosion resistance, and workability. SS 201 stainless steel plate is similar to SS 301 stainless steel plate. These stainless steel 201 plates (UNS S20100) are an austenitic chromium-nickel-manganese stainless steel that was originally developed to protect nickel. As mentioned above, these SS 201 stainless steel plates (DIN 1.4372) were originally developed to protect nickel and are characterized by low nickel content.
Alloy 201 stainless steel plate is a low-cost alternative to traditional Cr-Ni stainless steels (such as 301 and 304). At the same time, about half of the nickel content in stainless steel 304 plate is replaced by an alloy with manganese and nitrogen added. This results in higher strength than alloy 304.

Applications
Applications
From the point of view of the grade, 202 is more than one manganese and more than three nickel. In practical applications, in terms of utility, 202 is slightly better than 201, but most of the market users accept the 201 material decorative tube with a lower price and practical utility similar to 202.
202 has slightly more chromium and manganese than 201, and the mechanical and corrosion resistance is slightly better, but strictly speaking, the performance difference between the two stainless steel is not significant, especially in the corrosion resistance.
There are only nuances on the surface of 202 and 201 stainless steel plates, but there are still many differences in the actual situation. Through the introduction of this article, we hope to help the industry users to find the stainless steel material suitable for their products when purchasing the products and improve the application efficiency, saving actual costs.
