Nickel Alloy 200 Introduction to Characteristics and Execution Standards

Common Trade Names: Nickel 200, Nickel 99.2, Alloy 200;

Nickel 200 (UNS N02200/W.Nr. 2.4060 & 2.4066) is commercially pure (99.6%) wrought nickel. It has good mechanical properties and excellent resistance to many corrosive environments. Other useful features of the alloy are its magnetic and magnetostrictive properties, high thermal and electrical conductivities, low gas content and low vapor pressure. 

The corrosion resistance of Nickel 200 makes it particularly useful for maintaining product purity in the handling of foods, synthetic fibers, and caustic alkalies; and also in structural applications where resistance to corrosion is a prime consideration.

Other applications include chemical shipping drums, electrical and electronic parts, aerospace and missile components.

Available Product Forms: Pipe, tube, sheet, strip, plate, round bar, flat bar, forging stock, hexagon and wire.
