2B is the most widely used stainless steel surface finish. 201 2B stainless steel is especially common in industrial, chemical and food processing applications such as process vessels and storage tanks. SS201 stainless steel is also used in some architectural applications, such as downspouts and gutters, where the uniformity of the finish will not be carefully checked. At the Normandy, 201 2B stainless steel is precision manufactured and easy to form and weld, ensuring efficient production and quality products. The SS201 material at Normandy is also manufactured using environmentally friendly processes to reduce environmental impact, providing sustainable, high-quality materials to meet modern industrial needs.

Application | 201 2B stainless steel is typically used for non-cosmetic parts. Items we typically see with a 2B finish include bakeware and flatware, fixtures, solar panels, industrial equipment, enclosures and covers. | |||
Brief Introdction | A smooth, moderately reflective cold-rolled annealed and pickled or descaled finish typically produced by imparting a final light cold-rolled pass using [large diameter] polished rolls. This general-purpose finish is more readily polished than No 1 or 2D finishes. |
201 2B Stainless Steel offers several advantages. It is a cost-effective option compared to higher-grade stainless steels, making it suitable for applications with budget constraints. 201 2B stainless steel has good formability, allowing for easy fabrication and shaping. Additionally, 201 2B Stainless Steel has a smooth surface finish, making it visually appealing for decorative applications.
2B is the most economical finish
Chemically pickled and smooth, thus highly resistant to corrosion
201 2B stainless steel is not uniform and may not match in appearance over a wide range and between batches etc.
As sub-product of 2B surface finish stainless steel, 201 2B stainless steel has been produced in the factory and cannot be matched after processing
201 2B stainless steel is often protected by a plastic film until final cleaning and commissioning
Yes, 201 2B Stainless Steel can be welded using standard welding techniques. However, it is important to note that compared to other stainless steel grades, such as 304 or 316, 201 stainless steel may require more heat during the welding process. It is recommended to consult the welding procedure guidelines or seek professional advice for proper welding techniques.
