The 200 series replaces a portion of the nickel in 300 series grades with manganese and nitrogen, which lowers cost and raises strength but reduces corrosion resistance and formability. It is appropriate for dry indoor, decorative and structural applications where the environment is benign, and inappropriate anywhere chlorides or condensation are present.
Pitting resistance equivalent. Higher resists chlorides better.
Indexed to 304. Indicative, for specification triage.

200 Series Stainless Steel is also designated UNS S20100 / S20200, EN 1.4372, AISI 201 / 202, JIS SUS201, GB S35350 and Werkstoff X12CrMnNiN17-7-5.
Strengths: Materially cheaper than 304 and less exposed to nickel price volatility, Higher work-hardening rate and yield strength than 304 and Adequate for dry indoor service. Limitations: Noticeably lower corrosion resistance than 304, Not suitable for outdoor, coastal or wet service, Poorer formability and deep-drawing behaviour and Often mis-sold as equivalent to 304 — always verify on certificate.
