301 stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel that is popularly used in a variety of industrial applications due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and good formability. It is a non-magnetic alloy, making it suitable for applications where magnetic properties are undesirable.

It is commonly used in applications where high strength and good corrosion resistance are required, such as in the production of automotive parts, springs, and kitchen utensils. While 301 stainless steel is not as corrosion resistant as some other austenitic stainless steels, such as 304 or 316, it is often used in applications where cost is a factor or where the specific properties of 301 stainless steel are more suitable for the application.
