201 stainless steel plate development history
200 series stainless steel was first successfully developed in the United States as a substitute for 300 series stainless steel during the Second World War. At that time, due to the war, nickel as a strategic material is strictly controlled by the countries concerned, the United States nickel supply is seriously insufficient. In order to solve the serious shortage of nickel supply, the production and supply of stainless steel, the United States developed this new series of austenitic stainless steel with manganese instead of nickel.
After the end of World War II, the U.S. nickel supply situation gradually improved, therefore, the production of 300 series stainless steel is no longer subject to the constraints of raw material constraints, so the 200 series has not been a major development. Several when involved in the development of 200 series stainless steel Indian, back to India, from India is a relatively rich in manganese…
