201 Stainless Steel

Composition: 201 stainless steel has a lower nickel content than 304, making it more affordable. It contains manganese to replace some of the nickel, but this slightly affects its corrosion resistance compared to 304.

Corrosion resistance: While 201 stainless steel is not as corrosion resistant as 304, it is still suitable for environments that are not very corrosive. It is often used in areas with low humidity or contact with weak acids.

Durability: 201 alloy maintains good mechanical strength and hardness, making it suitable for applications that require a balance of strength and aesthetics.

Satin finish: Satin finish is achieved by brushing or sanding the surface of the stainless steel, giving it a consistent, low-gloss texture. Fingerprints and stains are less noticeable than with a polished surface, making it less reflective and easier to maintain.
