Advantages and disadvantages of 200 series stainless steel

200 series stainless steel advantage

①The biggest advantage of 200 series stainless steel is that it is cheaper than 300 series stainless steel.

②Under the premise of weak corrosion, ASTM202 stainless steel can almost completely replace 304 stainless steel;

③ The use is relatively common, and it is widely used in building decoration, kitchen utensils, sanitary equipment and appliances, household appliances, transportation and industrial equipment and components.

200 series stainless steel shortcoming

① Compared with 304, 200 series stainless steel, the corrosion resistance performance is worse;

②The machinability of 200 series stainless steel is far less than that of 304 stainless steel;

③ It is difficult to take over the waste. If it is not specified that it is a 200-series waste, they will become a kind of high-risk scrap mixed raw material, which will cause the manganese content of the casting to far exceed the standard, and at the same time, the composition of the incoming charge in the steel mill will be unstable;

④Remuneration factor: 200 series stainless steel is non-magnetic, and its appearance is similar to 304, which leads to “criminal philistines” being flushed one after another, and selling them as “304”, which brings huge losses to users.
