Nickel 201 is the low carbon variant of Nickel 200, offering enhanced performance in applications where exposure to temperatures above 600°F is a concern. Due to its lower carbon content, Nickel 201 provides improved resistance to oxidation and reduces the risk of embrittlement at elevated temperatures, making it an ideal choice for environments where high heat is a factor. It also features low base hardness and a lower work-hardening rate, which makes it highly suitable for cold forming processes, providing ease of fabrication and superior mechanical properties.
The unique properties of Nickel 201 also make it resistant to a variety of corrosive media, particularly in acidic and alkaline environments. As a result, it is widely used in applications such as chemical processing, electronics, aerospace, and marine engineering. The alloy’s excellent weldability and ductility allow it to be used in the production of seamless tubing, brazing, and welding applications. Its combination of high strength, resistance to corrosion, and excellent formability makes Nickel 201 a versatile and reliable choice for critical industrial applications.
