China's leading stainless steel sheet manufacturer directly supplies 201 cold-rolled and hot-rolled sheets. 201 Cold-Rolled Stainless Steel Sheets are primarily thin, with thicknesses ranging from 0.25 to 6.0 mm. Common widths are 1000, 1219, and 1500 mm, and lengths are mostly 2000, 2438, and 6000 mm. Hot-rolled sheets are mainly medium to heavy, with thicknesses ranging from 3.0 to 50 mm, and extra-thick sheets reaching 200 mm. Common widths are 1219, 1500, and 2000 mm, and lengths are mainly 6000 and 12000 mm. The specifications for the 3-6 mm range overlap between the two types of sheets.
Regarding the selection between cold-rolled and hot-rolled 201 stainless steel sheets, the manufacturer recommends:
For those prioritizing appearance, dimensional accuracy, and fine machining, choose 201 cold-rolled sheets; for load-bearing structures, welded components, and cost control, choose 201 hot-rolled sheets. Both types of sheets can be used in the 3.0~6.0 mm range. Furthermore, 201 stainless steel has relatively weak corrosion resistance and is only suitable for general working conditions in dry environments without strong acids or alkalis and with low chloride ion levels.

Production Process
Made from hot-rolled coils, finished by room temperature rolling.
Bills are directly formed by high-temperature rolling after being heated at high temperatures.
Common Thickness Range
0.25~6.0mm, mainly thin and medium-thin sheets.
Mainly 3.0~50mm, ultra-thick plates up to 200mm, primarily medium and heavy plates.
Main Surface Conditions
2B, BA, brushed, matte, No.4, with a bright and smooth surface.
No.1 pickled finish, black finish, sandblasted finish, rough matte surface.
Thickness Tolerance
High precision, tolerance approximately ±0.02~±0.1mm.
Lower precision, tolerance approximately ±0.1~±0.3mm.
Mechanical Properties
Slightly high surface hardness, uniform hardness distribution, suitable for precision forming.
