UGI® 202N – Grade 1 Annealed: Premium High‑Manganese, Amagnetic Stainless Steel for Cryogenic Applications
UGI® 202N is an austenitic stainless steel with a high manganese content, which belongs to the 200 series.
With its high content in manganese and in nitrogen, UGI® 202N is a completely amagnetic steel even at very low temperature and even after a high amount of cold work. So UGI® 202N is designed
The high manganese content gives UGI® 202N an excellent wear resistance. So UGI® 202N is well adapted for stainless steel filters in aggressive water environnement like mine filtration or water well filtration. Resistance to corrosion abrasion of UGI® 202N is better than 304 and 316L.
Even after a high amount of cold work (>80% of section reduction) magnetic permeability of UGI® 202N remains very low : µr < 1.01.

| Cold Forming | Drawing like other austenitic steels, drawing UGI® 202N is not difficult. It strain hardens rapidly with reduction of section but its natural ductility allows to go above 80% of section reduction. The ratio between yield strength and tensile strength after cold work hardening is around 0.9. Mechanical characteristics reached after a high section reduction are significantly higher than those obtained in annealed condition. These high mechanical characteristics make UGI® 202N most adequate for amagnetic springs. Table below gives indicative mechanical characteristics. For diameter below 0.5 mm and above 6.0 mm contact the supplier. | |
| Corrosion properties | UGI® 202N provides a good corrosion resistance in mildly aggressive environments. UGI® 202N is recommended for medium with limited concentration in chlorinated components. High surface hardness in the work-hardened condition and very good corrosion-abrasion properties have led to its use in water and coal filtration industries. The figure below shows the corrosion behavior of UGI® 202N after an abrasion-corrosion test. This test quantifies the rate of weight loss of specimens in an sulfuric acid solution with projection of silicon carbide particles. The solution of H₂SO₄ is at pH=3 and SiC particles (diameter 105 µm and concentration 50 g/l) are projected at a speed of 10 m/s. Grade UGI® 202N appears very good, outperforming AISI 304 and even AISI 316L (see figure on the right side of the material page). | |
| Heat Treatment | Mechanical characteristics of spring wire can be increased by approximathy 250 MPa (depending on diameters) with a thermal treatment applied to springs. Static furnace treatment: T° of treatment, 350/450 °C depending on batch size. Recommanded duration, 0.5 to 1 hour Continuous furnace treatment: T° of treatment, 25 °C more than with static furnace treatment. Minimum duration, 3 minutes | |
| Hot forming | UGI® 202N has good forging properties. Forging temperatures should be in the range of 900°C to 1100°C. After forging, cooling should be quick in order to avoid sensitivation by chromium carbide formation and potential corrosion at grain boundaries. | |
