201 Stainless Steel Coil Cold Rolled BA Finish Economy Grade 0.3mm-2.0mm 1000mm Wide for Decorative Interior Use
201 Stainless Steel Coil - Economy Austenitic Grade BA Finish
Our 201 stainless steel coil is a cost-effective austenitic grade where manganese and nitrogen partially substitute for nickel, maintaining the desirable austenitic structure and mechanical properties at a significantly lower cost. With bright annealed (BA) finish, this product delivers an attractive reflective surface ideal for decorative applications. It is a top-selling product in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Middle East markets where cost-efficiency combined with aesthetic appeal drives purchasing decisions.
Key Features
- Cost-Effective Formulation: Reduced nickel content (1.0-1.5%) with manganese (5.5-7.5%) and nitrogen substitution cuts material cost significantly compared to 304
- Bright Annealed Surface: BA finish provides an attractive lustrous appearance without extra polishing, ideal for visible applications
- Good Mechanical Properties: Yield strength higher than 304 (≥275 MPa vs ≥205 MPa) due to nitrogen strengthening
- Austenitic Structure: Non-magnetic in annealed condition, with good ductility and formability
- Adequate Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for indoor, mild atmospheric, and light industrial environments
