1.1 This specification2 covers annealed, and annealed and cold-rolled, chromium-nickelmanganese austenitic stainless and heat-resisting steel plate, sheet, and strip.
1.1.1 Type 201 is satisfactory for applications where severe forming characteristics are not too important. Type 201 is nonmagnetic when annealed, but is magnetic after cold working.
1.1.2 Type 202 is satisfactory for applications where severe forming characteristics are important. Type 202 is nonmagnetic when annealed, but is slightly magnetic after cold working.
1.1.3 Types XM-10 and XM-11 are intended for applications where normal forming characteristics are important. They are nonmagnetic in the annealed condition and also after 10 percent cold working.
1.1.4 Type XM-14 is intended for applications requiring service at cryogenic temperatures: It is nonmagnetic in the annealed condition and slightly magnetic after cold working.
1.1.5 Type XM-19 is intended for applications requiring added corrosion resistance and high strength. It is readily formed and welded.
1.1.6 Type XM-29 is intended for applications requiring good formability and good weldability. It is nonmagnetic even when severely cold formed. NOTE 1—The values stated in U.S. customary units are to be regarded as the standard.
