Stainless Steel 202 Plate: manufacturer, stockist and exporter in Mumbai, India
Rajgranth Metal & Alloys supplies stainless steel 202 plate (UNS S20200) from Mumbai and exports it to 18 markets.
What is SS 202 plate?
Plate is the heavier flat product, used where thickness and rigidity matter more than surface appearance. In SS 202 it is bought for fabricated parts and structures in dry interiors, where thick 202 saves cost against 304.
Chromium-manganese-nickel austenitic grade. A lower-cost alternative to 304 for dry, indoor and decorative use.
Rajgranth Metal & Alloys lists SS 202 among the grades it supplies and exports from Mumbai.

Standards for SS 202 plate
SS 202 plate is commonly specified to ASTM A240 / ASME SA-240 and ASTM A480. 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 plate
Plate is bought by weight, so the lower price per kilogram of 202 is directly visible in the quotation.
It cuts, drills and welds in the usual fabrication shop, so there is no special process to learn.
Thick plate in 202 gives a stiff, hard-wearing base or panel for indoor machinery.
Where SS 202 plate is used
- Machine bases, covers and guards
- Fabricated brackets and supports
- Equipment panels in dry environments
- Flat components cut by laser, waterjet or plasma
- General heavy fabrication where 304 is not required
What to state when you enquire for SS 202 plate
- Thickness in mm, up to the published 100 mm
- Plate size or cut-to-size dimensions
- Surface: hot-rolled and pickled or No. 1, or a polished face
- Cutting method and tolerance for cut parts
- Quantity in plates or kilograms
- The standard, test certificate and any thickness tolerance class
What to check on SS 202 plate before and after delivery
On thick plate, check the thickness tolerance and the flatness against the order, and the heat number against the certificate. Weld procedures for 202 plate should be qualified for 200-series, not borrowed from 304. If the plate is for pressure or load-bearing use, confirm that your design code permits the grade.
Remember the grade's main limit: lower corrosion resistance than 304 and 316.
Export of SS 202 plate from India
SS 202 plate is exported from Mumbai to 18 confirmed markets, quoted with the Incoterm and named port.
SS 202 compared with similar grades
Buyers who look at SS 202 plate usually also compare SS 304, SS 201 and SS 316. The grade pages below give each one's designations, properties and limits side by side so you can choose for the service rather than the price alone.
FAQ
10Questions answered
- What is the difference between sheet and plate?
- Sheet is the thinner product and plate the thicker; the exact boundary is set by the product standard. Give us the thickness and we confirm which we are supplying.
- How thick can SS 202 plate be?
- The published thickness range runs up to 100 mm for flat products. Send the thickness and size you need and we confirm availability.
- Can you cut 202 plate to size?
- Say in your enquiry whether cutting is needed, with the dimensions, tolerance and quantity, and we confirm whether it can be done before shipment.
- Is 202 plate suitable for pressure vessels?
- Pressure vessels are governed by a design code that lists permitted materials. Check that your code permits 202 before specifying it, and use a listed grade such as 304 or 316 if it does not.
- How should 202 plate be welded?
- It welds well with procedures qualified for the 200 series. Do not simply copy a 304 procedure, since 202 behaves differently in distortion and hot cracking tendency.
- Which standard applies to SS 202 plate?
- SS 202 plate is commonly specified to ASTM A240 / ASME SA-240 and ASTM A480. 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 plate?
- 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.
