Product Introduce

201 stainless steel pipe belongs to the 200 series (compliant with ASTM/GB/JIS standards). Due to its high corrosion resistance and strength, it is widely used in structural and piping applications and has good polishing properties. This series of stainless steel pipes comes in a variety of sizes (outer diameter 6mm-2000mm). Compared with 300 series stainless steel, 201 stainless steel is more cost-effective and is therefore often used in industrial, environmental protection projects, and decorative applications.

201 is an austenitic stainless steel, but its biggest difference from 304 is that it uses manganese (Mn) and nitrogen (N) to partially replace nickel (Ni), which significantly reduces its cost, but also reduces its corrosion resistance.

Advantages of 201 Stainless Steel Pipe

Low cost: low nickel content → Price is typically 20%–40% cheaper than 304 stainless steel pipes, making it very budget-friendly for projects.

Higher strength: the yield strength and hardness of 201 stainless steel are generally slightly higher than 304, making it more resistant to pressure and deformation.

Easy to process and form: can be made into various shapes such as round, square, rectangular, and decorative tubes.

Good surface finish: suitable for decorative treatments such as polishing, brushing, mirror finish, titanium plating, black titanium plating, and electroplating.

Comparison of 201 and 304 stainless steel pipe

Project 201 Stainless Steel Pipe 304 Stainless Steel Pipe

Service life Shorter Longer and more stable

Applications of 201 Stainless Steel Pipe

Interior Decoration (Most Common)

Stair railings, security windows, interior railings, door frames, baseboards, furniture frames, display racks, display cabinets, etc.

Lightweight Structural Applications

Non-load-bearing decorative structures, lightweight supports, billboard frames, etc.

Procurement and Use

Interior decoration, cost-saving projects → 201 stainless steel is acceptable.

Outdoor, damp, coastal, high-end projects → 304 or higher stainless steel is a must.
