Stainless Steel 202 Flat Bar: manufacturer, stockist and exporter in Mumbai, India
Rajgranth Metal & Alloys supplies stainless steel 202 flat bar (UNS S20200) from Mumbai and exports it to 18 markets.
What is SS 202 flat bar?
Flat bar is rectangular section cut from strip or rolled to width and thickness. In SS 202 it is used for brackets, frames, trim and fittings where a flat profile is needed and the work is indoors and dry.
Chromium-manganese-nickel austenitic grade. A lower-cost alternative to 304 for dry, indoor and decorative use.

Standards for SS 202 flat bar
SS 202 flat bar is commonly specified to ASTM A276. Commonly specified product standards. Confirm the standard, edition and any supplementary requirements on your order; we supply to the standard you name.
Why buyers choose SS 202 flat bar
A lower price than 304 on a section where the quantity of metal is modest but the volume of parts is large.
Flat bar forms, bends and welds readily in fabrication shops, so one stock serves brackets, bands and frames.
It takes a satin or polished finish for visible hardware.
Where SS 202 flat bar is used
- Brackets, clamps and supports
- Door and gate frames and trim
- Decorative strips and edging
- Furniture and cabinet fittings
- General fabrication in dry interiors
What to state when you enquire for SS 202 flat bar
- Width and thickness in mm
- Length and whether cut to length
- Edge condition: mill edge, slit or rolled
- Finish: mill, satin or polished
- Quantity in pieces, metres or kilograms
- The standard and certificate required
What to check on SS 202 flat bar before and after delivery
Check straightness and edge condition on arrival, since flat bar that bows or has burred edges costs time in the fabrication shop. Chemistry should be confirmed on the certificate against the 202 limits. If a part will see a wet or salt environment, flat bar in 304 or 316 is a better buy than any saving on 202.
Remember the grade's main limit: lower corrosion resistance than 304 and 316.
Export of SS 202 flat bar from India

FAQ
10Questions answered
- How does flat bar differ from strip and sheet?
- Flat bar is a rectangular section supplied in stated lengths; strip is narrow flat material, often in coil; sheet is wide thin material. The boundaries are set by the product standard, so give width and thickness and we will confirm what we are supplying.
- What sizes of 202 flat bar do you supply?
- Our published flat bar range is in the table above. Send your width, thickness and length and we confirm availability or the nearest size.
- Can 202 flat bar be bent and welded?
- Yes. 202 forms and welds well in fabrication, though it work-hardens faster than 304, so allow for springback and use suitable filler.
- Is 202 flat bar suitable for outdoor use?
- It is not recommended outdoors or near the coast, where it can stain and corrode. Use 304 or 316 for exposed work.
- Can flat bar be supplied polished?
- Satin and polished finishes can be specified. State the finish with the enquiry and we confirm whether it can be supplied.
- Which standard applies to SS 202 flat bar?
- SS 202 flat bar is commonly specified to ASTM A276. Confirm the standard and edition on your order.
- What is the minimum yield and tensile strength of SS 202?
- In the annealed condition, SS 202 has a minimum yield strength of 260 MPa and a minimum tensile strength of 515 MPa, per the standard named in the table above.
- What is the UNS number and EN designation of SS 202?
- Stainless Steel 202 is designated UNS S20200, EN 1.4373, AISI 202 and JIS SUS 202, and is also called 202 stainless steel, SUS 202, 1.4373 and S20200.
- What are the main alloying elements in SS 202?
- To the standard in the composition table, SS 202 carries chromium 17.00 – 19.00 and nickel 4.00 – 6.00 percent by weight. Confirm the composition on the mill test certificate supplied with your material.
- Do you supply a mill test certificate with SS 202 flat bar?
- Yes, to EN 10204 3.1 as standard, showing chemistry and mechanical properties against the heat. EN 10204 3.2 with third-party inspection is available on request.
