Nickel 200 Commercially Pure

Nickel 200

UNS N02200 | W.Nr. 2.4060 | Commercially Pure Nickel

Nickel 200 is a 99.6% pure wrought nickel alloy. It offers excellent mechanical properties and resistance to many corrosive environments. It is best known for its exceptional resistance to caustic alkalis up to 600°F (315°C).

  • Formes courantes : Plate, Sheet, Strip, Pipe, Tube, Round Bar, Wire.
  • Caractéristiques principales : Outstanding resistance to caustic soda (sodium hydroxide).
  • Prop. physique : Conductivité électrique et thermique élevée ; ferromagnétique.
  • Limite de température : Recommended for service below 600°F (315°C).
Why Choose Nickel 200?

Nickel 200 is the standard material of choice for environments containing caustic alkalis. Its high purity also gives it unique physical properties not found in other nickel alloys, making it valuable for electronic and food processing applications.

Résistance au caustique

Excellent resistance to all concentrations of sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) at temperatures up to 600°F, forming a protective oxide film.

High Conductivity

Unlike alloyed materials (like Inconel or Monel), pure Nickel 200 retains very high thermal and electrical conductivity.

Product Purity

With a minimum nickel content of 99.0%, it is ideal for applications where product contamination must be minimized, such as food and synthetic fiber processing.
