201 Stainless Steel Plate

Type 201 stainless steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel-manganese stainless steel, which is developed to save nickel. Type 201 is a low-cost alternative to traditional Cr-Ni stainless steels such as 301 and 304. The nickel is replaced by added manganese and nitrogen. It cannot be hardened by heat treatment, but can reach high tensile strength by cold working. Type 201 is essentially non-magnetic in the annealed condition and becomes magnetic upon cold working. In many applications, the 201 type may replace the 301 type.

ASTM Standard 201 Stainless Steel Plate – High-Quality Solutions for Global Industries

Name: 201 Stainless Steel Plate
SKU: 0

Product Overview

The 201 Stainless Steel Plate from Hongteng Fengda is a high-performance, cost-effective austenitic stainless steel produced strictly according to ASTM A240 standards. By utilizing a nitrogen-strengthened alloy with manganese, Grade 201 offers a perfect balance between durability and affordability. It is an ideal alternative to Grade 304 for applications requiring high mechanical strength and excellent surface aesthetics in mildly corrosive environments.

Core Advantages & Features

Exceptional Cost Efficiency: 201 stainless steel provides a budget-friendly solution for projects without compromising structural integrity. By replacing a portion of nickel with manganese, it delivers stable performance at a lower price point.
Superior Mechanical Strength: Due to its nitrogen content, Grade 201 boasts higher yield strength and hardness than 304, making it highly resistant to impact and wear.
Diverse Surface Finishes: We offer a full range of surface treatments tailored to your project’s needs:
- 2B / BA: Smooth, reflective finishes for industrial and appliance use.
- No.4 / Hairline: Brushed textures ideal for architectural decoration.
- Mirror (8K): Highly reflective finish for luxury interiors and elevators.
Excellent Formability: Despite its higher strength, our 201 plates undergo professional annealing to ensure they remain easy to bend, deep-draw, and weld.
Strict Quality Control: Every plate is inspected for thickness tolerance, flatness, and chemical composition, accompanied by a Mill Test Certificate (MTC).

Primary Applications

Architectural Decoration: Elevator cabins, decorative wall panels, stair handrails, and luxury door frames.
Kitchenware & Appliances: Commercial kitchen sinks, catering equipment, washing machine drums, and refrigerator panels.
Automotive Industry: Decorative trim, automotive exhaust system clamps, and structural components.
Urban Infrastructure: Street furniture, bus shelters, signage frames, and protective railings.
Industrial Hardware: Hinges, fasteners, and stamped metal parts.
