Nickel 200 and 201
Nickel 200 alloy is a commercially pure nickel that exhibits good corrosion resistance and has rather low electrical resistivity. It’s used in caustic solutions, food handling equipment, and general corrosion-resistant parts and structures. Because it contains magnetic and mechanical properties, it can be used in devices that require magnetic actuated parts.
Nickel 201 alloy is similar to Nickel 200 alloy and is a low carbon modification of the 200 Alloy. It has a low annealed hardness and very low work-hardening rate. Those who use Nickel 201 Alloy find it desirable in deep drawing, spinning, and coining. It addition, it can be applied to corrosion-resistant equipment including but not limited to: caustic evaporators, spun anodes, and laboratory crucibles.
