Nickel 200 (UNS N02200/W.Nr.2.4060 & 2.4066) is an industrial-grade pure (99.6%) forged nickel. It boasts excellent mechanical properties and outstanding corrosion resistance. Other notable characteristics of this alloy include its magnetic properties and magnetostriction, high thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity, low gas content, and low vapor pressure.
Nickel 200’s corrosion resistance makes it particularly suitable for maintaining product purity in food, synthetic fibers and caustic alkali treatment; as well as in structural applications where corrosion resistance is a major consideration.
Other applications include chemical transport drums, electrical and electronic components, aerospace and missile components.
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.
N6, also known as pure nickel (also called No.6 nickel), contains over 99.5% Ni and Co with impurity levels below 0.5%. This material exhibits excellent acid-base resistance, maintains stability in atmospheric and marine environments, and demonstrates superior processability along with high electrical vacuum performance. These properties make N6 widely used in chemical engineering, machinery, electronics, and related industries. It can be processed into various products including plates, strips, wires, and foils.
