Chemical Composition of Grades 201 and 202
The chemical composition limits for grades 201 and 202 are presented with reference to ASTM A240, which covers stainless steel plate, sheet and strip.
| Chemical Element | Symbol | Grade 201 (%) | Grade 202 (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon | C | ≤ 0.15 | ≤ 0.15 |
| Manganese | Mn | 5.50 – 7.50 | 7.50 – 10.00 |
| Phosphorus | P | ≤ 0.060 | ≤ 0.060 |
| Sulfur | S | ≤ 0.030 | ≤ 0.030 |
| Silicon | Si | ≤ 1.00 | ≤ 1.00 |
| Chromium | Cr | 16.00 – 18.00 | 17.00 – 19.00 |
| Nickel | Ni | 3.50 – 5.50 | 4.00 – 6.00 |
| Nitrogen | N | ≤ 0.25 | ≤ 0.25 |
| Molybdenum | Mo | — | — |
| Copper | Cu | — | — |
All values are expressed in weight percentages. Values marked with ≤ indicate maximum permitted limits, while ranges indicate the specified chemical composition limits.
A dash indicates that no specific limit is listed for that element in this table. It does not mean that the element is absent.
The actual chemical composition of each shipment should be verified against the manufacturer's Mill Test Certificate (MTC).
Differences Between Grades 201 and 202
Both grades 201 and 202 belong to the austenitic Series 200 stainless steel family. Grade 202 generally has higher manganese, chromium and nickel content ranges compared with grade 201. The selection between these grades should be based on technical requirements, environmental conditions and the specific needs of each project.
Grade 201
Chromium content: 16–18%. Nickel content: 3.5–5.5%.
Grade 202
Chromium content: 17–19%. Nickel content: 4–6%.
