What is the difference between SS 202 and SS 304?

The major difference between the 304 and 202 stainless steels is the nickel and chromium content. Both are austenitic stainless steels. The 202 grade has 16% minimum chromium and 0.5% minimum nickel in the composition where the 304 has 18% minimum chromium and 8% minimum nickel. Both of the steels are non-magnetic.

What is grade 202 stainless steel?
