What industries can you find SS 201?
Automotive, Appliances, Service Repairs, Safety Repairs and Transportation industries
What are the properties of SS 201?
Type 201 and 201L have the greatest tonnage of the Cr-Ni-Mn steels (200 series). Type 201 provides advantages over the 18-8 grades in certain applications. Lower cost manganese and nitrogen additions are partial substitutes for nickel making them more economical alloys. Because they possess a very desirable combination of economy plus good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance properties, they have been used in a wide variety of consumer and transportation applications
