Virami Steel Hub is a leading manufacturer, supplier, stockist, and exporter of premium quality Stainless Steel 202 Round Bars in Mumbai, India. We supply SS 202 round bars across India and export to major international markets including Russia, USA, Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Mexico, and more. Our stainless steel bars are manufactured in accordance with international standards and undergo strict quality inspection to ensure dimensional accuracy, mechanical strength, and long service life.
Stainless Steel 202 Round Bars are widely used in structural fabrication, architectural applications, automotive components, and industrial equipment due to their high strength, good corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness.
Stainless Steel 202 is an austenitic chromium-nickel-manganese stainless steel grade. It is part of the 200 series stainless steels developed to reduce nickel consumption by replacing part of it with manganese and nitrogen. This makes SS 202 more economical compared to traditional 300 series grades while still maintaining good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
SS 202 Round Bars are solid cylindrical stainless steel bars available in various diameters and finishes. These bars are used for machining components, fasteners, shafts, structural parts, and general engineering applications.
Compared to SS 201, SS 202 offers slightly better corrosion resistance and improved toughness due to higher chromium and nickel content.
Stainless Steel 202 provides good resistance to:
However, SS 202 is not recommended for:
For such applications, higher grades like 304 or 202 are preferred.
SS 202 cannot be hardened by conventional heat treatment. However, it can be:
Annealed at:
1010°C to 1093°C.Followed by rapid cooling (water quenching) to restore ductility and relieve stresses.Cold working is the primary method used to increase strength and hardness.
SS 202 offers moderate machinability compared to 300 series grades.
Machining Recommendations:
Because SS 202 work-hardens quickly, proper machining techniques improve tool life and surface finish.
SS 202 can be welded using standard welding processes:
Proper heat input control is essential to prevent distortion and cracking. Post-weld annealing may be performed if required.
