Type 204-Cu stainless is a copper-containing, low-nickel, nitrogen-strengthened,
austenitic stainless steel. The nitrogen addition results in higher annealed
strength than Type 304; however, the copper addition reduces the work hardening
rate to provide cold worked properties similar to Type 304. The alloy is nonmagnetic
in the annealed condition and remains nonmagnetic after cold working. Cold forming
characteristics are superior to 200 series stainless steels and similar to Type
304.
