202 Stainless Steel Plate
202 stainless steel plate is a relatively common and economical type of austenitic stainless steel within the 200 series. Its core feature is "high manganese and low nickel", meaning that a large amount of manganese (Mn) is used instead of expensive nickel (Ni) to significantly reduce costs.

Product Introduction

202 Stainless Steel Plate is a low-nickel, high-manganese austenitic stainless steel developed primarily as a cost-effective alternative to the classic 300-series grades. It maintains the non-magnetic, austenitic structure and good formability characteristic of this family by partially replacing nickel with manganese and nitrogen. However, this compositional adjustment results in a general corrosion resistance that is lower than that of Type 304.

As a member of the 200-series, 202 is designed for applications where material cost is a significant factor, and the service environment is mild. It is best suited for indoor architectural elements, decorative trims, and general hardware where structural integrity, aesthetics, and moderate corrosion resistance are required. Buyers should be aware that 202 is not recommended for harsh environments involving chlorides, acids, heavy welded fabrications, or outdoor coastal exposure.

Product parameters


Item / ParameterSpecification for 202 (UNS S20200)Notes / Significance
Key FeatureEconomical Austenitic Grade. Good strength and formability at lower cost than 304.Primary selling point is cost savings in non-critical applications.
Common DesignationsUNS S20200, AISI 202, SUS 202Key for specification; ensures correct material.
Chemical Composition (Typical wt.%)C: ≤ 0.15Higher carbon than 304L, can affect weldability.

Cr: 17.0 - 19.0Provides basic corrosion and oxidation resistance.

Ni: 4.0 - 6.0Low nickel content is the main cost reducer.

Mn: 7.5 - 10.0High manganese replaces nickel to maintain austenite.

N: ≤ 0.25Strengthens and stabilizes the austenitic structure.
Mechanical Properties (Annealed Plate)Tensile Strength (Rm): ≥ 620 MPaHigher than typical 304 (≥515 MPa), a mechanical advantage.

Yield Strength (Rp0.2): ≥ 260 MPaHigher yield strength than 304 (≥205 MPa).

Elongation (A): ≥ 40%Maintains good ductility for forming.

Hardness (HBW): ≤ 241-
Key Standard (Plate)ASTM A240/A240MThe primary standard for pressure vessel and general application plate.
Common Applications• Architectural & Decorative: Indoor wall panels, handrails, window frames, decorative tubes.
• Household Goods: Sinks, cookware, shallow-drawn utensils.
• General Hardware: Storage racks, non-critical fasteners, bus shelters, telephone booths.
Applications where appearance, cost, and moderate corrosion resistance in dry/indoor settings are key.
