Whether you're an engineer designing automotive trim or a procurement specialist sourcing for spring manufacturing, this article will clarify why 301 stainless steel is a trusted option. Explore our sa 240/a 240 uns stainless grades portfolio for related grades like sa 240/a 240 uns s21400, sa 240/a 240 uns s21600, sa 240/a 240 uns s21800, sa 240/a 240 uns s24000, sa 240/a 240 uns s30103, sa 240/a 240 uns s30153, and sa 240/a 240 uns s30200.
ASTM A240/ASME SA240 UNS S30100, commonly known as 301 stainless steel, is an austenitic stainless steel with 16.0-18.0% chromium, 6.0-8.0% nickel, and a maximum of 2.0% manganese. It is designed for applications requiring good corrosion resistance, high strength through cold working, and excellent formability, making it ideal for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and spring manufacturing. The higher carbon content (≤ 0.15%) allows for significant strength increases through cold working compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s30103, while maintaining good corrosion resistance in mild environments.
The ASTM A240/ASME SA240 UNS S30100 stainless steel plate offers better corrosion resistance than sa 240/a 240 uns s21400 and sa 240/a 240 uns s24000 due to its higher nickel content, though it is less corrosion-resistant than molybdenum-containing grades like sa 240/a 240 uns s21600. Its ability to achieve high strength through cold working makes it a preferred choice for springs and structural components.
Key benefits of ASTM A240/ASME SA240 UNS S30100 stainless steel plate include:
Case Study: An automotive manufacturer in India used sa 240/a 240 uns s30100 plates for decorative trim, achieving a 15% cost reduction compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s30400 while maintaining corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.

ASTM A240/ASME SA240 UNS S30100offers good corrosion resistance in mild environments, such as indoor settings or areas with low humidity and minimal exposure to corrosive agents. Its 16.0-18.0% chromium and 6.0-8.0% nickel content provide a robust protective oxide layer, making it suitable for applications like automotive trim and springs. It outperforms sa 240/a 240 uns s21400 and sa 240/a 240 uns s24000 in corrosion resistance, but is less resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion than molybdenum-containing grades like sa 240/a 240 uns s21600 or sa 240/a 240 uns s31603. For chloride-rich or acidic environments, grades like sa 240/a 240 uns s32550 are recommended.

The higher carbon content (≤ 0.15%) of ASTM A240/ASME SA240 UNS S30100 compared to low-carbon variants like sa 240/a 240 uns s30103 may increase the risk of sensitization and intergranular corrosion during welding. However, with proper welding techniques, such as TIG or MIG with low heat input and appropriate filler materials, it can be welded effectively. Compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s30153, UNS S30100 has similar weldability but offers higher strength through cold working. For applications requiring superior weldability, sa 240/a 240 uns s30103 is a better choice.
