201 Stainless Steel | Stainless Steel Supply

201 stainless steel is a type of austenitic stainless steel that is commonly used in a wide range of applications. It is a low-cost alternative to other types of stainless steel, such as 304 and 316, and is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and good formability.

Compared to other austenitic stainless steels, 201 stainless steel has a lower nickel content, which makes it more affordable, but is also slightly less resistant to certain types of corrosion, such as chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking.
Widely used in the manufacture of kitchenware, tableware, automotive parts, industrial equipment and many other products that require strength, corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness.
