Application of 201LN stainless steel plates and sheets
201LN stainless steel plates and sheets are widely used in applications, which require strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
- Food Processing Equipment: SS 201LN plates and sheets are used in food processing applications, especially in dry, or low-moisture environments. The material is easy to clean, as it resists corrosion well, which maintains the equipment.
- Chemical machinery: Chemical plants use SS 201LN plates for storage tanks and processing vessels. These plates resist chemical erosion and maintain strength at various temperatures. The low-carbon content prevents sensitisation during the welding of large machinery.
- Automotive Parts: 201LN Stainless Steel Sheets are commonly used for automotive trims, brackets, and structural components. Their high strength and good formability help meet durability and lightweight design requirements.
- Architectural components: Architectural designs incorporate SS 201LN Sheets for external cladding and roofing. The material withstands weather changes without significant degradation or rusting. Polished finishes offer a modern look for building facades and handrails.
- Kitchen Appliances: Stainless steel sheets 201LN are used for cabinets, panels and internal supports in kitchen equipment. The grade provides exceptional strength, corrosion resistance and manufacturing flexibility for common kitchen applications.
