201 stainless steel tube FAQ

1.4371 stainless steel tube on EU standard.
201 stainless steel tubes have a high manganese content and cannot be used as water pipes to transport water, and long-term drinking of these water may lead to excessive manganese poisoning. 201 stainless steel tubes are not food grade stainless steel tubes
201 stainless steel tube has a certain corrosion resistance, but the corrosion resistance is not as strong as 304 and 316. 201 stainless steel tube can play a satisfactory role in mildly corroded places, but it is not as good as 304 and 316 in high-corrosion areas.
201 stainless steel is generally more affordable than 304 stainless steel, making it a cost-effective option for various applications, especially when budget constraints are a consideration. 201 stainless steel has a higher yield strength compared to 304 stainless steel. This means it can withstand higher stress and pressure without permanent deformation, making it suitable for applications that require structural integrity under heavy loads.
201 stainless steel tube is an Austenitic chromium-nickel-manganese stainless steel tube. This stainless steel tube is not magnetic under annealing conditions, but it is magnetic when cold working.
