What is 202 grade stainless steel?
Grade 202 stainless steel is a type of Cr-Ni-Mn stainless with similar properties to A240/SUS 302 stainless steel. The toughness of grade 202 at low temperatures is excellent.
Which is better ss304 vs SS 202?
Since the 202 material has much iron than the 304, it is easier to weld with. The 304 material develops less intergranular corrosion and rust after welding. The 202 material is prone to corrosion at the welded joints where the 304 is less prone to corrosion at the welded joints compared to the 202 grade.
What is the HRC of stainless steel?
Stainless Steel Hardness Chart
| Grade | Tensile Strength min. ksi [MPa] | Hardness (Max) ASTM E18 Rockwell |
|---|---|---|
| S31803 | 90 [620] | 30 HRC |
| S32101 | 101 [700] Wall≤0.187 in. [5.00 mm] | 30 HRC |
| S32205 | 95 [655] | 30 HRC |
| S32550 | 110 [760] | 31 HRC |
Does SS 202 attract magnet?
The major differences between 202 and 304 stainless steels are in the nickel and chromium contents. 202 has 16-18% chromium and 0.5-4.0% nickel, whilst 304 has 18-20% chromium and 8-10.5% nickel. Both are austenitic steels and are essentially non-magnetic, but will become temporarily magnetic by working them.
What is the hardness of SS 202?
STAINLESS STEEL 202 COIL MECHANICAL PROPERTIES:
| Type | Yield Strength 0.2% offset (KSI) | Hardness Rockwell |
|---|---|---|
| 201 ¼ Hard | 75 min. | 25 – 32 HRC (typical) |
| 201 ½ Hard | 110 min. | 32 – 37 HRC (typical) |
| 201 ¾ Hard | 135 min. | 37 – 41 HRC (typical) |
| 201 Full Hard | 145 min. | 41 – 46 HRC (typical) |
What is the best quality steel?
304 stainless steel is the most common form of stainless steel used around the world due to excellent corrosion resistance and value. 304 can withstand corrosion from most oxidizing acids. That durability makes 304 easy to sanitize, and therefore ideal for kitchen and food applications.
