What is the composition of nickel alloy 201?
Nickel 201 is a commercially pure nickel (typically 99.6% nickel) essentially the same as Nickel 200 but with a lower carbon content that prevents intergranular carbon from embrittlement at temperatures in excess of 315°C (600°F) . Lower carbon content also reduces hardness, making it ideal for spinning and cold forming. It is also superior to Nickel 200 for applications involving exposure to temperatures above 315°C (600°F).
Main features
