202 Stainless Steel Coil
The 202 stainless steel coil is an austenitic chromium-nickel-manganese stainless steel coil, and it is also an economical material with high manganese and low nickel content. Its characteristic is that the nickel content (about 4-6%) is slightly higher than that of 201, but its corrosion resistance is still limited, especially it is not resistant to chloride ion corrosion.

Product Introduction

202 Stainless Steel Coil represents a mid-range austenitic stainless steel that strikes a practical balance between the economy of 201 grades and the performance of 304 stainless steel. By incorporating higher nickel content than 201 (4-6% vs. 3.5-5.5%) while maintaining substantial manganese levels, 202 offers improved corrosion resistance and formability over 201, making it suitable for applications requiring better durability than 201 but where the full corrosion resistance of 304 is not essential. This grade serves as a cost-effective alternative in environments with mild corrosive conditions where both performance and budget considerations are important.

Supplied in continuous coil form for efficient manufacturing, 202 stainless steel maintains the non-magnetic properties of austenitic stainless steels in the annealed condition while providing good mechanical strength and moderate corrosion resistance. Its chemical composition represents a transitional formulation between the highly economical 201 series and the premium 304 series, offering manufacturers a viable option for applications that exceed the limitations of 201 but do not justify the full cost of 304.

Product parameters


Item / ParameterSpecification for 202 Coil (UNS S20200)Notes / Significance
Key FeatureThe Balanced Performance-Economy Grade. Offers intermediate corrosion resistance between 201 and 304 grades with better formability than 201 at a moderate price point.An economical alternative for applications requiring better corrosion resistance than 201 but where 304 may be over-specified.
Common DesignationsUNS S20200, AISI 202, JIS SUS202, GB 1Cr18Mn8Ni5NLess common than 304 but more standardized than some 200-series variations.
Chemical Composition (Typical wt.%)C: ≤ 0.15
Cr: 17.0 - 19.0
Ni: 4.0 - 6.0
Mn: 7.5 - 10.0
N: ≤ 0.25
Si: ≤ 1.00
Higher nickel and chromium than 201, but lower than 304. Manganese remains high for austenite stability.
Mechanical Properties (Annealed)Tensile Strength (Rm): ≥ 620 - 750 MPa
Yield Strength (Rp0.2): ≥ 275 - 345 MPa
Elongation (A): ≥ 40-50%
Hardness (HB): ≤ 241
Similar to 201 in strength, with potentially better ductility due to higher nickel content.
Physical PropertiesDensity: 7.80 g/cm³
Melting Range: 1371 - 1399 °C
Magnetic Response: Generally non-magnetic when annealed
Similar density to 201; may become slightly magnetic when cold worked.
Corrosion ResistanceGood resistance to mild atmospheric conditions and some chemicals. Better than 201 but inferior to 304, especially in chloride-containing environments.Suitable for indoor applications and mild outdoor environments without coastal or industrial pollution.
Key Standards (Coil)ASTM A240 (covers some 202 grades)
ASTM A666 (Annealed or Cold-Worked Austenitic)
National standards vary widely
Quality and consistency may vary between manufacturers; less standardized than 304.
Common Applications (from Coil)• Architectural Applications: Indoor railings, decorative panels, elevator interiors
• Household Goods: Kitchen sinks, utensils, cookware (for dry or mild environments)
• Food Service Equipment: Counter tops, display cases (where food contact is minimal)
• Automotive Trim: Wheel covers, decorative moldings, interior trim
• Consumer Electronics: Appliance exteriors, decorative bezels
• Furniture & Fixtures: Display racks, shelving systems, furniture components
Ideal for cost-sensitive applications where appearance and moderate durability are priorities.
