202 Stainless Steel Strip

202 Stainless Steel Strip – Product Introduction

202 stainless steel strip is an austenitic chromium-nickel-manganese stainless steel developed as a lower-cost alternative to 304. With improved toughness and formability, it is widely used in structural components, architectural applications, and kitchen equipment. It offers moderate corrosion resistance and high strength, especially suitable for indoor environments or mildly corrosive conditions.
