201 Stainless Steel Tube is a type of austenitic stainless steel that contains a high amount of manganese and nitrogen, as well as lower amounts of nickel and chromium compared to other stainless steel grades. It was developed as a more cost-effective alternative to 304 stainless steel, and is often used in applications where high corrosion resistance is required, but a lower cost is desired.
