Bosega Pipes and Tubes, based in Cape Town, South Africa, offers top-notch **Stainless Steel 201 Tubing**, which is perfect for structural, decorative, and light industrial uses. This tubing is made from an austenitic stainless steel alloy, specifically designed to provide strength and affordability while keeping a sleek look and basic corrosion resistance. It’s a popular choice as a budget-friendly alternative to higher-nickel grades like 304, especially in indoor settings or mildly corrosive environments.
Stainless Steel 201 tubing is composed of 16-18% chromium, 3.5-5.5% nickel, 5.5-7.5% manganese, and small amounts of carbon and nitrogen. It offers excellent mechanical properties, including a tensile strength of 515 MPa and yield strength of 275 MPa, with good elongation and toughness. Its advantages include high corrosion resistance, durability, and cost-effectiveness due to reduced nickel content. Ideal for structural and decorative applications, it provides strength and aesthetic appeal while maintaining affordability compared to other stainless steel grades.
