Tech Center 2025-08-04 92
Nickel201(UNS N02201/ W.N.2.4061 and 2.4068) is the low-carbon version of Nickel 200. Typical applications include causticizing evaporators, combustion boats, electroplating rods and electronic components.
Nickel201 is particularly suitable for spinning and cold forming due to its low matrix hardness and low work hardening rate. In applications with temperatures above 600°F(315 ° C), Nickel201 is more popular than Nickel200.
Industrial pure nickel or low alloy nickel possesses useful properties in several fields, particularly in chemical processing and electronics. Nickel has a high resistance to various reducing chemicals and is unparalleled in resistance to caustic alkali. Compared with nickel alloys, commercial pure nickel has high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. It also features a high Curie temperature and excellent magnetostrictive properties. Nickel after annealing has low hardness and good ductility and malleability. These properties, combined with good weldability, make this metal highly processable. Nickel has a relatively low hardening rate, but it can achieve a moderate high strength level through cold working while maintaining its toughness.
The density of this alloy is ρ=8.89g/cm³.
