VT machining offers CNC Press Brake Forming for 202 Stainless Steel (UNS S20200 / 1.4373), typically supplied annealed. Slightly more Ni than 201, so better formability; still below 304 in corrosion resistance.
CNC Press Brake Forming Notes for 202 Stainless Steel
202 Stainless Steel bends to a tight inside radius (about 1× thickness) in this condition.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 202 Stainless Steel weighs about 0.78 kg.

Can VT machining make custom 202 Stainless Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. 202 Stainless Steel forming is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
Does CNC Press Brake Forming 202 Stainless Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most 202 Stainless Steel forming work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Press Brake Forming 202 Stainless Steel?
CNC Press Brake Forming prototypes for 202 Stainless Steel can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
Why is 202 Stainless Steel a good choice for CNC Press Brake Forming?
202 Stainless Steel is corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic, which makes it well suited to CNC Press Brake Forming. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 202 Stainless Steel forming part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Press Brake Forming 202 Stainless Steel?
Achievable tolerances for 202 Stainless Steel forming depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. We hold tight, repeatable tolerances appropriate to the feature and material. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
