Nickel 200 (UNS N02200 | 2.4060) Pure Nickel Plate & Sheet

Product Overview

Nickel 200 is a 99.0% pure wrought nickel, recognized as one of the most durable metals for handling corrosive chemicals and caustic alkalis. It offers excellent mechanical properties, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and a low work-hardening rate. It is the industry standard for applications requiring high purity and resistance to reducing environments.

Key Performance Features

• Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Highly resistant to various reducing chemicals and especially outstanding in caustic alkalis (NaOH).

• High Conductivity: Superior electrical and thermal conductivity compared to nickel-based alloys.

• Magnetic Properties: Exhibits strong ferromagnetic properties below its Curie temperature (360°C).

• Excellent Ductility: Easy to fabricate through cold-forming, spinning, and welding.

Typical Applications

• Chemical Processing: Manufacture of evaporators, pressure vessels, and piping for fatty acids.

• Food Industry: Used in equipment where product purity is critical to prevent metal contamination.

• Electronics: Battery connectors, lead wires, and internal vacuum tube components.

• Note: Nickel 200 is restricted to service temperatures below 315°C (600°F) to prevent graphitization.
