Nickel201 (UNS N02201/W.Nr.2.4061 and 2.4068) is a low-carbon version of Nickel 200. Typical applications include caustic evaporators, combustion vessels, electroplating rods, and electronic components.
Nickel201 is particularly suitable for spin forming and cold forming due to its lower matrix hardness and lower work hardening rate. In applications where temperatures exceed 600°F (315°℃), Nickel201 is more popular than Nickel200.
Industrial pure nickel or low-alloy nickel possesses versatile properties that make them particularly valuable in chemical processing and electronics. Nickel exhibits exceptional resistance to various reducing chemicals, with unmatched tolerance to caustic alkalis. Compared to nickel alloys, commercial-grade pure nickel demonstrates superior electrical and thermal conductivity. It also features a high Curie temperature and excellent magnetostriction characteristics. Annealed nickel maintains low hardness while exhibiting good ductility and forgeability. These attributes, combined with excellent weldability, enable this metal to be highly processable. Although nickel has relatively low hardening capacity, moderate high strength levels can be achieved through cold working processes while preserving its toughness.
The density of the alloy is ρ=8.89/cm³.
Nickel-based alloys are alloys with nickel as the base metal, composed of elements such as copper, chromium, and molybdenum. Typically having a hardness of 650-1000℃, they exhibit high strength and excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion. These alloys have gained widespread application in marine engineering, environmental protection, energy, petrochemicals, and food processing due to their superior comprehensive performance and resistance to various acids, corrosion, and stress corrosion. The outstanding oxidation resistance of nickel-based alloys is closely related to the base metal Ni. Pure nickel possesses excellent mechanical properties and is easy to cold work, with processing characteristics comparable to low-carbon steel. It is widely used in plate heat exchangers, soda production, and chemical equipment. N4 has been successfully applied in environments up to 1230℃, demonstrating remarkable corrosion resistance in both acidic and alkaline conditions.
