With its smooth, polished finish, 201 stainless steel sheets provide an attractive appearance that adds a touch of elegance to any project. Its lustrous surface is easy to clean and maintain, making it suitable for architectural elements, kitchen appliances, and decorative applications.

1,Q: What is 201 stainless steel plate?

A: Austenitic stainless steel with low nickel (3.5-5.5%), high manganese (5.5-7.5%), and 16-18% chromium. A cost-effective alternative to 304 for non-severe corrosion environments.

 

2,Q: What are its core mechanical properties?

A: Tensile strength: 520-750 MPa; Yield strength: ≥270 MPa; Elongation: ≥40%; Hardness (HB): ≤201. Suitable for forming and bending.

 

3,Q: What applications is it ideal for?

A: Architectural decoration (handrails, facades), home appliances (fridges, ovens), furniture, auto parts, and mild corrosive environments (avoid strong acids/alkalis). Not for food/medical use.
