Production Summary
Nickel 201 alloy is a commercially pure wrought alloy having properties similar to that of nickel 200 alloy, but with a lower carbon content to avoid embrittlement by inter-granular carbon at high temperatures.
It is resistant to acids and alkalis, and dry gases at room temperature.
Alloy 201 is a wrought commercially pure Nickel with a maximum carbon level of 0.02%. This alloy provides highly ductile mechanical properties across a wide temperature range.It provides corrosion resistance in neutral to moderately reducing environments. Nickel 201 is ferromagnetic. It provides high thermal and electrical conductivity in comparison to nickel-base alloys, stainless and low alloy steels. Because of its low carbon content (.02% max.) Nickel 201 may be considered for service above 600 °F (316 °C), where alloy 200 with higher carbon content is not recommended.
