201 Stainless Steel Coil
What is 201 Stainless Steel Coil?
201 stainless steel coils are a popular choice for manufacturing kitchen tools and appliances. Characterized by a medium carbon content, this steel grade combines low carbon levels with high chromium content, enhancing its resistance to corrosion.
The composition of 201 stainless steel primarily includes chromium and manganese, contributing to its substantial tensile strength and maintaining the product's hardness at a moderate level. It is also noted for its commendable wear resistance, making it suitable for components subjected to high wear.
This austenitic chromium-nickel-manganese stainless steel variant operates effectively at temperatures as high as 1300°F (700°C). Provided there is sufficient oxygen, it remains stable and does not develop hardening or cracking when heated beyond this point. While it exhibits excellent corrosion resistance at ambient temperatures, it is susceptible to damage from chloride environments or in contact with materials containing copper or its alloys, like brass.
Feature of 201 Stainless Steel Coil
The 201 stainless steel coil, recognized for its high carbon content, is commonly utilized in crafting springs and wires. This variant showcases commendable resistance to oxidation at temperatures reaching up to 1200°F (650°C), especially when treated with chromium phosphate or chromium oxide coatings. It stands up well against most organic solvents, including various chlorinated hydrocarbons. Notably, the coils exhibit:
1. Enhanced strength and hardness when annealed.
2. Reliable corrosion resistance in its annealed state.
3. Effective resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in concentrations of nitric acid under 60%, at ambient temperature for durations ranging from 1-3 hours.

FAQ
1. Is secondary quality 201 2B sheet & coil available?
We exclusively supply premium grade SS 201, ensuring top-quality products only.
2. How does nickel content influence 201 stainless steel?
Nickel significantly affects 201 stainless steel's properties:Increased nickel enhances plasticity while decreasing strength due to less martensitic transformation.
It contributes to excellent toughness, particularly beneficial in cold climates, by stabilizing the austenitic structure.
The austenite structure's stabilization by nickel reduces cold work hardening, aiding in superior cold forming qualities.
Nickel improves the hot workability, optimizing the steel's processing yield.
3. Can you provide custom-sized 201 stainless steel?
Absolutely, we tailor 201 stainless steel dimensions to your needs, ensuring your specifications for thickness, width, and grade are met.
4. What's the delivery timeline?
Quick delivery for trial orders within a week, while regular orders range from 7-30 days.
5. How do you guarantee your 201 SS product quality?
Our 201 products undergo rigorous inspections during manufacturing, cutting, and packaging to ensure the highest quality.
6. Why isn't 201 stainless steel recommended for tableware?
Due to its higher manganese content, 201 stainless steel may leach harmful ions when in contact with food, especially under heat, posing health risks. Its lower nickel content makes it less corrosion-resistant, unsuitable for the frequent exposure to moisture, salt, and oil in tableware settings. In contrast, 304 stainless steel, with better corrosion resistance and durability, is preferred for tableware.
7. What distinguishes 304 from 201 stainless steel?
201 stainless steel is cost-effective, with lower nickel and chromium, affecting its corrosion resistance unlike the superior 304. 304 excels in rust resistance and durability, justifying its higher cost, ideal for demanding conditions. The visual similarity of 201 to 304 is deceiving; they differ in corrosion resistance, which is pivotal in selecting the right grade.
8. What is the 201 stainless steel price?
Usually the approximate 201 stainless steel sheet price is more than 1050 US dollars/ton. The actual price will fluctuate based on exchange rates, market conditions, etc. For details, please contact us for a quote.
