Nickel 200

Nickel 200 is a commercially pure wrought nickel grade containing typically at least 99.0% nickel. It offers good corrosion resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, and useful mechanical properties. Its particularly strong resistance to many alkaline environments makes it widely used in chemical processing, electronics, electrical systems, and food-processing equipment.

Typical Applications

Nickel 200 is widely used in chemical processing, electronics and electrical systems, food processing, energy, aerospace, and industrial equipment.

Typical parts include electrodes, connectors, terminals, flanges, valve components, pump parts, heat-exchanger components, and corrosion-resistant precision CNC parts.

Advantages

• Excellent resistance to alkaline environments

• Good electrical and thermal conductivity

• Excellent ductility and formability

• Good overall corrosion resistance

• Suitable for applications requiring commercially pure nickel

Limitations

• Tendency to work harden during CNC machining

• Can adhere to cutting tools and accelerate tool wear

• Lower strength than nickel-based superalloys
