Applications of 201 stainless steel in life that you should know

Currently, in the field of construction and interior decoration, the application of 201 stainless steel is becoming an attractive choice and is increasingly popular in the stainless steel material market. So what are the characteristics of 201 stainless steel? How is it used? This article will provide detailed answers for you!

Characteristics of stainless steel 201

Stainless steel 201, like other types of stainless steel, has durability characteristics, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and maintenance, cleaning, and aesthetic advantages. However, due to the different chemical composition, the level of these advantages has a certain difference compared to other types of stainless steel.

For example, the amount of Nickel in 201 stainless steel is lower than in 304 stainless steel, it has higher hardness and is more susceptible to corrosion. The surface of stainless steel 201 is not as shiny as stainless steel 304. However, stainless steel 201 has the advantage of quite high durability.

Characteristics of stainless steel 201

Stainless steel 201 has good formability and is an easy-to-process material. Therefore, processing methods such as cutting or welding can be performed on this type of stainless steel. Some important characteristics of stainless steel 201 include:

Is 201 stainless steel durable and does it rust?

If you are curious about the durability and rust resistance of Stainless Steel 201, below is the answer to your question. Stainless steel 201 exhibits remarkable durability, corrosion resistance and rust resistance. This type of stainless steel is also heat resistant and easy to clean. Compared with Stainless Steel 304, Stainless Steel 201 has higher hardness and better durability, but does not look as shiny and has not as high corrosion resistance.

How to distinguish stainless steel 201 and stainless steel 304

In addition to identifying through the appearance of the two types of stainless steel (Stainless Steel 304 has a glossier and brighter surface than Stainless Steel 201), you can also use special reagents for stainless steel. If you use reagents, Stainless Steel 201 will turn reddish brown, while Stainless Steel 304 will turn blue or colorless.

What temperature can 201 stainless steel withstand?

The melting temperature of Stainless Steel 201 is from 1400 – 1450 degrees Celsius. This temperature level is considered high and equivalent to the famous Stainless Steel 304 series.

What temperature can 201 stainless steel withstand?

Is 201 stainless steel attracted to magnets?

Based on the percentage of active chemicals in the structure of Stainless Steel 201, it belongs to the ferritic stainless steel group. Therefore, if you try using a magnet with 201 stainless steel, this type of stainless steel will gently attract the magnet.

Stainless steel 201 has low electrical conductivity

Unlike conductive metals such as copper, gold, aluminum, silver, 201 stainless steel has very low electrical conductivity. This makes stainless steel not often used in applications that require high electrical conductivity, while ensuring user safety.

Stainless steel 201 has poor rust resistance

With a higher Manganese ratio and lower Nickel content, 201 stainless steel is more likely to rust than its “brother” stainless steels such as 316 or 304 stainless steel. However, this also reduces the price of stainless steel. 201. Although the price is cheaper, compared to non-stainless steel materials such as plastic, steel, aluminum…, stainless steel 201 is still a pretty good choice when durability and oxidation resistance are needed.

Stainless steel 201 can withstand high melting temperatures

Stainless steel 201 is not the ideal choice for applications requiring continuous heat resistance, as its durability will gradually decrease when exposed to high temperatures over long periods of time.

Stainless steel 201 is often used to produce products that do not require heat resistance, such as sinks, kitchen cabinets or simple household items. If you need a stainless steel with good heat resistance, you should switch to stainless steel 304, 316 or 310.

Stainless steel 201 is safe for health

Stainless steel is a popular material and widely used in everyday life. Stainless steel 201, with its friendly nature to the environment and human health, we often use stainless steel 201 in the production of kitchen utensils and furniture, thanks to its safety properties.

Common applications of stainless steel 201

Stainless steel 201 is widely used in many fields of life. To take advantage of all its features and overcome limitations, 201 stainless steel is today intelligently created to create specialized products. Below are some of the most common 201 stainless steel applications:
