Introduction
Grade 202 stainless steel is a type of Cr-Ni-Mn stainless with similar properties to
A240/SUS 302 stainless steel. The toughness of grade 202 at low temperatures is
excellent.

It is one of the most widely used precipitation hardening grades, and possesses good
corrosion resistance, toughness, high harness, and strength.

The following datasheet provides an overview of grade 202 B stainless steel.

Stainless Steel Grade 202 (UNS S20200)

Mechanical Properties
The mechanical properties of grade 202 stainless steel are displayed in the following table.

Properties Metric Imperial


Tensile strength 515 MPa 74694 psi
Yield strength 275 MPa 39900 psi
Elastic modulus 207 GPa 30000 ksi
Poisson's ratio 0.27-0.30 0.27-0.30
Elongation at break 40% 40%

Other Designations
Equivalent materials to grade 202 stainless steel are given below:

ASTM A276 ASTM A314 ASTM A412 ASTM A429


ASTM A473 ASTM A666 FED QQ-S-763 FED QQ-S-766
FED STD-66 SAE 30202 SAE J405 (30202)

Manufacturing Process
The machinability of grade 202 stainless steel produces long, gummy chips. Machining can
also be performed in the annealed condition. For heat treatment, the material has to be
soaked at 1038°C (1900°F) for 30 min and cooled below 16°C (60°F) for full martensite
transformation. The material can be welded by common fusion and resistance methods;
however, this steel should not be joined using oxyacetylene welding method. The
recommended filler metal is AWS E/ER630. Forging can be done by pre-soaking for 1 h at
1177°C (2150°F). Forging below 1010°C (1850°F) is not advisable.

Applications
The grade 202 steel can be made into plates, sheets, and coils to be used in the following:

Restaurant equipment
Cooking utensils
Sinks
Automotive trim
Architectural applications such as windows and doors
Railway cars
Trailers
Hose clamps.
