One of the key features of 201 stainless steel is its relatively low nickel content compared to other stainless steel grades, which results in a more cost-effective material. However, this lower nickel content also means that 201 stainless steel may not offer the same level of corrosion resistance as higher-nickel alloys in certain environments.
201 stainless steel is widely used in many fields such as construction, automobiles, electronics, kitchens, medical care, petroleum, chemicals, ships, etc. due to its excellent corrosion resistance, processing performance and aesthetics. However, different application fields have different performance requirements for stainless steel. Therefore, when selecting stainless steel materials, you need to choose according to the specific application environment and requirements.
