Product Overview
Stainless steel square bar in grade 201 offers a perfect blend of affordability, strength, and moderate corrosion resistance. It is a popular choice for construction, general fabrication, machinery manufacturing, and interior decorative applications due to its clean appearance, excellent machinability, and solid mechanical properties.
Available in standard options like 8mm stainless steel square bar or customized sizes, this material is an economical substitute for higher-nickel alloys like 304 or 316, especially in indoor or mildly corrosive environments. Our Brushed stainless steel square bar provides a sleek finish for visible structures, making it suitable for both structural and aesthetic projects.
Whether you're reinforcing a frame, building a metal structure, or adding accents to interior architecture, grade 201 square bar stainless steel can be tailored to your project's needs.

Key Properties
-
Corrosion Resistance: Grade 201 stainless steel provides reliable protection against mild acids, atmospheric humidity, and urban pollution, making it suitable for indoor use, dry environments, and basic outdoor structures.
-
Strength: High tensile and yield strength make it ideal for support structures and mechanical parts that require durability without excessive weight.
-
Workability: Easy to cut, bend, drill, or weld. This makes 201 stainless steel square bar a user-friendly material for both manual and automated fabrication processes.
-
Aesthetic Finish: A Brushed stainless steel square bar offers a satin look, ideal for furniture frames, shopfitting, railings, and architectural elements.
Manufacturing Process
-
Forming: The raw material is cold-rolled to achieve sharp, uniform edges and exact square dimensions. This process ensures tight dimensional tolerances and consistent quality across all stainless steel square bar sizes.
-
Heat Treatment: The bar is annealed to reduce internal stress and improve ductility, making it easier to machine and fabricate. The annealing process also contributes to the stable hardness rating between HRB 85–95.
-
Surface Processing: Surface options include a brushed matte texture for low-glare installations, or high-polished finishes for decorative elements. Customers can also request passivation or anti-fingerprint coatings for added protection.
Why Choose 201 Stainless Steel Square Bar?
✅ Cost-Effective: A reliable and budget-conscious alternative to 304 or 316 stainless steel, especially when high corrosion resistance isn’t the primary concern. Perfect for construction and equipment where aesthetics and basic strength matter more than extreme durability.
✅ Versatile Sizes: From 8mm stainless steel square bar to large-dimension blocks, we provide a wide range of widths and thicknesses. Need a unique size? Custom dimensions can be cut and finished to your project’s specs.
✅ Aesthetic Finishes: Choose our Brushed stainless steel square bar for architectural applications such as handrails, support beams, wall accents, or machinery guards that require both strength and a premium look.
✅ Compliant with International Standards: Produced in compliance with ASTM A276 and AISI 201, each bar meets strict quality guidelines and includes traceable Mill Test Certificates (MTC) upon request.
✅ Custom Orders Accepted: Whether you need a 2-meter piece or bulk shipment in containers, we can fulfill orders of all sizes. Mixed size orders are welcome for construction contractors, wholesalers, or project engineers.
