Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter of 201 Stainless Steel Shim

201 Stainless Steel Shim is a versatile and cost-effective material widely used in industries requiring precision alignment, spacing, and leveling. It belongs to the 200-series austenitic stainless steel family, known for its high strength, moderate corrosion resistance, and economic advantage due to its lower nickel content. The grade 201 replaces a portion of nickel with manganese and nitrogen, making it suitable for many applications where appearance, durability, and performance are critical but cost is a concern. These shims are available in a variety of thicknesses, widths, and surface finishes like 2B, BA, or mirror, and are ideal for use in automotive, electronics, construction, and manufacturing sectors.
