Will 201 stainless steel plate rust?

Stainless steel is the abbreviation of stainless steel and acid-resistant steel. Steel or stainless steel that is resistant to weakly corrosive media is called stainless steel, while steel that is resistant to chemically corrosive media is called acid-resistant steel. Steel with rust and corrosion resistance as its main properties has a chromium content of at least 10.5% and a carbon content of no more than 1.2%.

Why does stainless steel not rust easily? The reason is that the chromium-rich oxide formed on the surface of the steel body can protect the steel body. 201 is a domestic stainless steel plate, which is a high-manganese stainless steel with greater hardness than 304 stainless steel and poor corrosion resistance. The high manganese content determines that it is more susceptible to rust than 304 stainless steel among many types of stainless steel, and its high hardness determines its use. Therefore, 201 stainless steel is mainly used in some shallow drawing products, such as decorative pipes and industrial pipes.
