From the above figures, we can see that the nickel and chromium composition of J series is actually not very different, .But it is obvious different between Carbon and Copper.
Copper: J4 > J1 > J3> J2>J5
Carbon: J5 > J2 >J3> J1>J4
Hardness: J5, J2 > J3>J1>J4
What is 201 Stainless Steel?
201 stainless steel is a type of austenitic stainless steel that belongs to the 200 series stainless steel alloys. It is a low-nickel alloy that contains about 16-18% chromium and around 3.5-5.5% nickel.
201 stainless steel is known for its high corrosion resistance, comparable to 304 stainless steel, but with slightly lower strength and toughness. It is often used in applications where corrosion resistance is important, such as in kitchen utensils, appliances, automotive trim, and architectural components.
Compared to the more common 300 series stainless steels (such as 304 and 316), 201 stainless steel is less expensive and has lower nickel content. This makes it an attractive choice for certain applications where cost is a significant factor, but maintaining corrosion resistance is still important.
It’s worth noting that 201 stainless steel can be slightly more susceptible to corrosion in certain environments, such as those with high chloride content or in the presence of certain chemicals. Therefore, it may not be suitable for all applications and should be carefully considered based on the specific requirements and conditions of use.
Stainless Steel 201 vs 304 Price
Stainless Steel 201 is generally less expensive than stainless steel 304. The main reason for this price difference is the composition of the two alloys. Stainless steel 201 contains less nickel and more manganese compared to stainless steel 304.
Nickel is one of the more expensive elements used in stainless steel production, and its presence in stainless steel 304 contributes to its higher cost. In contrast, stainless steel 201 has a lower nickel content and higher manganese content, which makes it less costly to produce.
The exact price difference between stainless steel 201 and 304 can vary depending on factors such as market conditions, availability, quantity, and supplier. However, in general, you can expect stainless steel 201 to be more budget-friendly compared to stainless steel 304.
