In-Depth Technical Analysis
Counterfeit 201 stainless steel contains high manganese (5.5%-7.5%) and less than 1% nickel, making it prone to pitting corrosion and rust when exposed to salt, acidic tomato sauces, and alkaline sanitizers. Glead performs 100% optical emission spectrometry verification on every incoming steel coil. Test coupons showing Cr 18.2% and Ni 8.1% are provided with every container export documentation packet.
