What is SS 202?
SS 202 (UNS S20200, EN 1.4373) is an austenitic stainless steel containing 17.0–19.0% chromium and 4.0–6.0% nickel. A lower-nickel, manganese-bearing grade that costs less than 304. Good for indoor and decorative use. It is non-magnetic in the annealed condition, has a density of 7.8 g/cm³ and a minimum tensile strength of 620 MPa, and is used mainly for railings and gates, furniture and fixtures and utensils and kitchenware.

Where is SS 202 used?
- Railings and gates
- Furniture and fixtures
- Utensils and kitchenware
- Indoor decorative panels
- Automotive trims
Can SS 202 be welded?
Weldable with 308L-type fillers, but the high manganese makes it a little less forgiving than 304. Fine for furniture, railings and general fabrication.
Forming and machining
Formable, but it work-hardens faster than 304, so it needs more force for deep drawing and machining.
SS 202 sizes we supply
Sheets, coils, pipes (round and square) and round bars — especially for furniture, railings and utensils.
SS 202 price compared with 304
Noticeably cheaper than 304 because of its lower nickel content, which is why it is popular for indoor and decorative work. For today's rate, send us your size and quantity.
Our advice
202 is cheaper but less corrosion-resistant than 304. Avoid it for outdoor coastal areas, chemicals and food-processing contact.
Values are typical ASTM A240 limits for flat products and are for guidance only. Always refer to the mill test certificate supplied with the material.
