Product Overview
Stainless Steel 202 is one of the most widely used precipitation hardening grades. It belongs to the 200-series austenitic stainless steels, where Nickel is partially replaced by Manganese and Nitrogen. Grade 202 is a cost-effective alternative to Grade 304 in many applications. It possesses good toughness, high strength, and hardness, even at low temperatures. While its corrosion resistance is lower than the 300-series, it is highly suitable for architectural, decorative, and various structural applications where exposure to severe corrosive environments is limited. Steel Emporium provides high-quality SS 202 pipes and tubes with precise dimensions and finishes.
