Home > News > Nickel Mechanical Properties & Chemical Composition
Nickel 200 is 99.6% pure nickel, one of the toughest metals. The Nickel 200's characteristics include excellent mechanical properties, a low gas content, low vapor- pressure, magnetic properties, high thermal and electrical conductivity. These properties and its chemical composition make Nickel 200 fabricatable and highly resistant to corrosive environment. Nickel 200 is useful in any environment below 600º F. It is highly resistant to corrosion by neutral and alkaline salt solutions. Nickel 200 also has low corrosion rates in neutral and distilled water. The metal can be hot formed to any shape and formed cold by all methods.

Nickel 201
Nickel 201 is the low-carbon version of Nickel 200. The Nickel 201’s has the same characteristics as the Nickel 200. These properties and its chemical composition make Nickel 201 fabricatable and highly resistant to corrosive environment. Nickel 201 is useful in any environment above 600 ºF. It is highly resistant to corrosion by neutral and alkaline salt solutions, fluorine and chlorine. Nickel 201 also has low corrosion rates in neutral and distilled water. The metal can be hot formed to any shape and formed cold by all methods.
