What's the difference between 201 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel?

  201 stainless steel features:

  201 stainless steel contains less nickel, less chromium, weaker anti-corrosion performance, more manganese, acid and alkali resistance, and cheap! Used for decorative pipes and industrial pipes.

  304 stainless steel features:

  304 stainless steel contains nickel, more chromium, good corrosion resistance, high toughness and high price! Used in anti-corrosion buildings.

  The difference between 201 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel is as follows:

  1. Different chemical composition: Generally, stainless steel is added with metal elements such as nickel, chromium and manganese on the basis of iron and carbon to make it have anti-rust properties. 304 stainless steel contains more nickel and chromium than 201 stainless steel, and manganese ratio 201 stainless steel is less.

  2. Chemical properties: Nickel-chromium metal mainly plays a role in corrosion resistance. 304 stainless steel contains more nickel and chromium, and its corrosion resistance is stronger than that of 201 stainless steel.

  3. Physical properties: 304 stainless steel toughness, 201 stainless steel toughness is insufficient, the stretching process requires a large force, and easy to crack.

  4. Safety performance: 201 stainless steel with high manganese content, harmful to the human nervous system, 304 stainless steel safety is a food grade material, the current food grade stainless steel is 304 stainless steel and above.

  5. Price: 304 stainless steel tube contains nickel, more chromium, good corrosion resistance, expensive, 201 stainless steel price is low,

  6. Scope of application: 304 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and is used in outdoor buildings. 201 is poor in acid and alkali resistance and is used for interior decoration and decoration.
