Nickel Alloy Ni-201, Commercially Pure Nickel

Ni 201 and Ni 200 are also known as Nickel Alloy Ni-201 and Commercially Pure Nickel, Ni 201.  Ni 201 only differs from Ni 200 by its carbon content (.02% max in Ni 201 versus .15% max in Ni 200). This slight drop in carbon allows Ni 201 to be utilized in higher temperature applications (over 600°F) including:

• Handling and manufacturing sodium hydroxide above 300°C
• Soap manufacturing
• Viscose Rayon manufacturing
• Production of benzene, methane, and ethane
• Reactors and vessels

Like Ni 200, Ni 201 offers a wide range of benefits to users including:

• It can be hot-formed in an almost unlimited number of shapes
• Cold rolled under proper conditions
• Highly resistant to various reducing chemicals
• Outstanding resistance to caustic alkalis
• Good electrical and magnetostrictive properties
• High electrical and thermal conductivity
• The toughness of nickel

Ni 201 is composed of roughly the same chemicals as Ni 200 except for the aforementioned difference in carbon content.

• Ni 99% min
• Fe .40% max
• Mn .35% max
• Si .35% max
• Cu .25% max
• C .02% max
