Q1: What are N4 and Nickel201 nickel sheets, and what makes them special?
A1: N4 (Ni200) and Nickel201 are high-purity nickel sheets (≥99.6%). N4 is standard commercial-purity nickel with excellent corrosion resistance and thermal/electrical conductivity. Nickel201 is a low-carbon variant with enhanced resistance to intergranular corrosion, ideal for high-temperature and chemical environments.
Q2: What are the main applications of these high-purity nickel plates?
A2: They are widely used in chemical processing, aerospace, battery and electrode manufacturing, electronics, heat exchangers, plating equipment, and high-temperature industrial components. Their high purity ensures reliable performance in corrosive and high-temperature conditions.
Q3: How do these nickel sheets compare with stainless steel or other alloys?
A3: These high-purity nickel sheets offer superior resistance to caustic and oxidizing environments compared to stainless steel. Nickel201, with low carbon content, is especially resistant to intergranular corrosion, making it suitable for extreme chemical or high-temperature applications.
Q4: What are the typical mechanical properties?
A4: Tensile strength is approximately 380–550 MPa, elongation 30–50%, and high thermal/electrical conductivity. These sheets maintain corrosion resistance and mechanical integrity even under harsh industrial conditions.
Q5: What sizes, thicknesses, and standards are available?
A5: Manufactured according to ASTM B162/B166 and equivalent international standards, available in large plates or custom sizes. Thickness typically ranges from 0.5 mm to 50 mm, and plate dimensions can reach several meters, depending on industrial requirements.
