Economical Brushed Decorative Sheet, Offering a Modern Matte Finish for Interior Decoration, Appliance Panels, and Furniture. For projects requiring a higher-gloss surface, see our [polished stainless steel sheet](https://walmaystainless.com/product/mirror-stainless-steel-sheet) in 8K and 10K mirror finish — the premium alternative for hotel lobbies and elevator interiors.
| Element | Content (%) | Functional Role |
|---|---|---|
| Cr | 16.0–18.0 | Forms basic passive film, resists indoor dust/moisture corrosion; oxide layer thickness 0.5–1nm. |
| Mn | 5.5–7.5 | Partially replaces Ni to reduce cost, though higher Mn content lowers corrosion resistance. |
| Ni | 3.5–5.5 | Maintains austenitic structure, improves toughness, prevents cracking during brushing process. |
Physical Properties: Density 7.93 g/cm³, melting point 1340–1410℃, thermal expansion coefficient 17.3×10⁻⁶/℃.
Corrosion Resistance: Withstands 200 hours of neutral salt spray (NSS) testing without rust in indoor environments; not recommended for outdoor or humid areas.
Grade: 201 Stainless Steel (ASTM A240, UNS S20100)
Thickness: 0.4–1.5mm (stock: 0.6–1.0mm)
Width: 1000–1219mm
Length: up to 3000mm
Surface Finish: HL brushed (400# abrasive belt), 8K mirror finish (customized, Ra ≤0.1μm)
Common sizes in stock include 0.6mm, 0.8mm, and 1.0mm thickness. For projects requiring 1.2mm or 1.5mm, lead time is typically 7–10 business days. Thicknesses above 1.5mm in a brushed HL finish are generally supplied in Grade 304 or 316L rather than 201, as the mechanical forming demands of heavier gauges benefit from the higher nickel content of those grades. Custom widths and cut-to-size lengths up to 3000mm are available on request.
