What is SS 201?
SS 201 (UNS S20100, EN 1.4372) is an austenitic stainless steel containing 16.0–18.0% chromium and 3.5–5.5% nickel. Economical low-nickel grade used for utensils, appliances and indoor items where cost matters most. It is non-magnetic in the annealed condition, has a density of 7.8 g/cm³ and a minimum tensile strength of 515 MPa, and is used mainly for utensils and cookware, appliance panels and indoor furniture.
