201 Stainless Steel Coil Cold Rolled 2B Finish ASTM A240 0.3mm to 3.0mm Thickness 1000mm 1500mm Width Economy Grade

ASTM A240 201 Stainless Steel Coil - Economy Austenitic Grade

Grade 201 is a cost-effective austenitic stainless steel where manganese and nitrogen partially substitute for nickel. This formulation maintains the desirable austenitic structure and mechanical properties while offering significant material cost savings compared to traditional 304 grade.

Key Features

• Cost-Effective Formulation: Reduced nickel content with manganese substitution delivers excellent mechanical properties at a competitive price point
• High Work Hardening Rate: Rapidly increases in strength during cold working, making it ideal for structural applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratios
• Austenitic Structure: Maintains non-magnetic properties in annealed condition with good toughness and ductility
• Good Weldability: Suitable for standard welding processes including TIG, MIG, and resistance welding
• Adequate Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for indoor atmospheric environments, mild chemical exposure, and general purpose applications
• Uniform 2B Surface Finish: Consistent matte grey finish suitable for subsequent polishing, brushing, or coating

Typical Applications

• Indoor decorative paneling and trim
• Structural tubing and hollow sections
• Kitchen equipment and catering furniture
• General fabrication and sheet metal work
• Storage tanks and containers for non-corrosive media
• Escalator and conveyor components

Quality Assurance

All coils are tested for chemical composition via spark spectrometry, tensile properties per ASTM A370, and surface quality through visual and dimensional inspection. Material certificates issued per EN 10204 3.1 with full traceability.
