The 201 Stainless Steel Coil is a lower-nickel austenitic stainless steel that offers an excellent balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and affordability. Known for its high work-hardening rate and superior formability, 201 Stainless Steel Coil is widely used in decorative, structural, and industrial applications where cost savings and good corrosion resistance are required.
While not as corrosion-resistant as 304 or 316, 201 stainless steel offers sufficient performance in indoor and moderately corrosive environments, making it ideal for non-critical, high-volume applications.
Cost-Effective Alternative to 304 Stainless Steel
Lower nickel content reduces material cost while maintaining excellent mechanical properties.
Good Corrosion Resistance
Performs well in mild environments, suitable for indoor and general industrial use.
High Strength & Work Hardening Ability
Strengthens quickly during cold working for improved durability.
Excellent Formability
Easily stamped, drawn, bent, and formed for a variety of parts and profiles.
Good Weldability
Welds well using standard techniques with proper process control.
Attractive Surface Finish Options
Available in polished, brushed, mirror, and decorative finishes.
Architectural trim and cladding
Decorative panels and elevators
Automotive trim and exhaust components
Kitchen equipment and appliances
Utensils, cookware, and sinks
Furniture and lighting fixtures
Interior railings, handrails, and partitions
Commercial refrigeration equipment
Food processing and service equipment (non-critical)
Electrical enclosures and components
