Stainless Steel 202 J4 Sheets & Plates

What Stainless Steel 202 J4 Plates & Sheets?

Stainless Steel 202 J4 Sheets & Plates are austenitic stainless steel and a cost-effective version of grade 304. The sheets and plates consist of low nickel and high manganese content. The plates and sheets are famous for their acceptable strength, good formability, good corrosion resistance, and excellent range of aesthetically pleasing surface finishes such as 2B, BA (bright annealed), matte, and mirror polish. J4 grade is particularly suitable for indoor applications or low to moderate humidity conditions.

Why Stainless Steel 202 J4?

Stainless Steel 202 J4 is an economical, high-strength austenitic steel that has been used across many applications. The grade provides good strength, formability, and a good-looking surface finish and is a great alternative to costly 304 stainless steel—if total corrosion resistance is not a major concern in the application.

With balanced chemical composition and increased content of manganese and nitrogen, SS 202 J4 is more mechanically strong and therefore is utilized in structural and load-bearing parts. It is workable easily, and therefore cutting, bending, welding, and forming are easy and therefore suitable for furniture, kitchenware, railings, and interior architecture
