- Manganese (4.00% to 6.00%)
- Nickel (1.35% to 1.70%)
- Silicon (1.00% maximum)
- Molybdenum (0.10% to 0.80%)
- Copper (0.10% to 0.80%)
- Nitrogen (0.20% to 0.25%)
- Carbon (0.04% maximum)
- Phosphorus (0.04% maximum)
- Nitrogen (0.03% maximum)
Stainless steel 2101 plate also has these mechanical properties:
- 101 ksi tensile strength
- 69 ksi 0.20% offset yield strength
- 38% elongation
- 225 HB hardness

Duplex Stainless Steel 2101 Benefits
2101 stainless steel properties and benefits are as follows:
- High strength: Twice the yield strength of standard austenitic steels
- Corrosion resistance: Comparable to 316L with excellent resistance to stress-corrosion cracking
- Heat resistance: Good up to 300 degrees Celsius
- Durability: Suitable in dynamic environments that require strength and corrosion resistance
- Low maintenance: Less frequent inspections and repairs than other stainless steels
Additionally, 2101 stainless steel welding capabilities are good, and it doesn’t need pre- or post-weld heat treatments like higher alloyed duplex grades. Also, because of 2101 stainless steel’s high strength-to-weight ratio, projects often require less material to provide the same support, which can lead to cost savings.
