Introduction Of 201 stainless steel :
201 Stainless Steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel-manganese stainless steel which was developed to conserve nickel. Type 201 is a lower cost alternative to conventional Cr-Ni stainless steels such as 301 and 304. Nickel is replaced by additions of manganese and nitrogen. It is non-hardenable by thermal treatment, but may be cold worked to high tensile strengths. Type 201 is essentially nonmagnetic in the annealed condition and becomes magnetic when cold worked. Type 201 can be substituted for Type 301 in many applications.
Type 201 is not hardened by heat treatment and is annealed at 1850-1950°F (1010-1066°C), followed by water quenching or rapid air cooling.
Type 201 is used to produce a range of household appliances, including sinks, cooking utensils, washing machines, windows and doors. It is also used in automotive trim, decorative architecture, railway cars, trailers and clamps. It is not recommended for structural outdoor applications because of its susceptibility to pitting and crevice corrosion.
Type 201 stainless can be welded by all standard methods used for 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel stainless steels, however, inter-granular corrosion can impact the heat zone if carbon content exceeds 0.03 percent.
