201, 202 Stainless Steel Plate

201 stainless steel sheet is a cost-efficient stainless steel material, balancing performance, workability and price.

201, 202 Stainless Steel Plate

The 200 series of low nickel austenitic stainless steels.

Traditionally only popular in the United States, the 200 series of stainless steels are becoming more popular worldwide due to the significantly lower nickel content than the 300 series. As the price of nickel has risen, this has driven more interest in the 200 series as a viable and cost-effective alternative.

With this increased interest, producers of stainless steels have been refining the 200 series with enhanced grades and new grades. Although typically to fulfil a specific requirement for a particular application, these new grades are often simply improvements to existing grades.

Applications

Furniture

200 series austenitics are typically used to replace types 304 and 301 as well as carbon (chrome-manganese) steels mainly for indoor use for low corrosion applications at room temperature.

Bins

Safety Shoes (mid-sole protector)

Industrial Strapping

Railway Rolling Stock

There is also grade 201LN for welded constructions, structural uses and low temperature applications. Examples include:

Sides & roofs of trains

Liquified gas storage vessels

Structural members/chassis of railway rolling stock, trucks & trailers

Coal handling equipment

· Cooking utensils

· Restaurant equipment

· Appliances

· Automotive trim

· Architectural applications

· Windows & channel spacers

· Doors

· Railway cars

· Trailers

· Hose clamps

Characteristics

· Lower nickel than 300 series – with it being replaced by manganese

· Lower cost than 300 series

· Similar mechanical & physical properties to 300 series

· Similar fabrication performance to 300 series, including deep-drawing

· Corrosion resistance similar to 430 (i.e. not nearly as good as 300 series)

· High carbon may cause stress corrosion cracking, especially after welding thicker material

· Non Magnetic

· Performance Comparison:

· Formability: Similar to 304, better than 430

· Strength: Stronger than 304 (and 430)

· Corrosion Resistance @20 C: Similar to 304, better than 430 but susceptible to stress corrosion cracking/intergranular corrosion especially after welding
