201 High Copper Deep Drawing Stainless Steel Coil – Kitchenware Grade
Product Overview
High-copper 201 stainless steel is a formability-optimized grade from the 200 series stainless family, engineered specifically for deep drawing and complex forming applications. With elevated copper content to improve ductility, it delivers excellent deep draw performance and smooth surface finish at a fraction of the cost of 304 deep drawing steel. This grade is the standard material for kitchenware, cookware and complex stamped components where formability and appearance are key requirements.
Why Choose CNB High-Copper 201 Stainless?
Our high-copper 201 stainless is sourced from specialized deep-drawing stainless mills with strict control over copper content and grain structure. Every coil undergoes forming validation and surface inspection to ensure reliable performance on deep drawing lines. We offer various formability grades and blank processing options to match different part complexity and production requirements.
