Stainless Steel 201 Rectangular Pipes

SS 201 rectangular pipes are manufactured with a chemical composition of 16-18% chromium, 3-5% nickel, and 0.15-0.25% nitrogen, which puts them at the lower end of the Austenitic chromium-nickel steel spectrum. They are highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation yet surprisingly malleable and ductile in fabrication - qualities make them highly suitable for design engineering projects like air handling systems or automotive parts, where malleability is key. The combination of high strength and durability, and malleability make stainless steel 201 rectangular pipes a staple in industrial engineering across many industries.

201 Stainless steel rectangular pipes are popularly utilised in handrails, countertops and architectural trim. It also demonstrates excellent corrosion resistance, making it perfect for use with food or drink products. Stainless steel 201 has a higher nickel content (4.-8%), which gives it a firmer texture, improved malleability and greater heat resistivity than 314L stainless steel. Additionally, this type of pipe is easier to weld and offers a distinct appearance to the finished product due to its higher chrome content. Moreover, its chromium and nickel components give it an aesthetically pleasing silvery finish that can be used in more modern designs and decorative settings.
