201 is a kind of stainless steel. 201 stainless steel generally refers to 201 stainless steel and acid resistant steel. 201 stainless steel refers to the steel that is resistant to the corrosion of weak media such as atmosphere, steam and water, while acid resistant steel refers to the steel that is resistant to the corrosion of chemical corrosive media such as acid, alkali and salt.This product is a high manganese and low nickel stainless steel with low nickel content and poor corrosion resistance. It is widely used in various tabletops, countertops, kitchenware, outdoor decoration engineering, urban decoration industry and low-grade household products.
Grade 310 is a high work-hardening rate austenitic stainless steel. It can be supplied with a tensile strength of up to over 1300 MPa in strip and wire forms, to produce tempers in the range of 1/16 Hard to Full Hard. The controlled analysis of Grade 310 enables it to retain sufficient ductility in conditions up to 1/2 Hard conditions to be roll or brake formed into aircraft, architectural and particularly rail car structural components. However, 3/4 to Full Hard tempers should be used whenever high wear resistance and spring features are required in components of simple form designs.
Grade 430 is a ferritic, straight chromium,non-hardenable grade, combining good corrosion resistance and formability characteristics with useful mechanical properties. Its ability to resist nitric acid attack permits its use in specific chemical applications but automotive trim, indoor panelling such as refrigeration cabinets and appliance components are its largest fields of application.This grade is only readily available in sheet and coil (up to 1.2mm thick), most commonly in BA or 2B finishes, or polished to No4. The BA finish sheet has a quite bright, reflective appearance.
