Nickel 200
Material Data Sheet
Nickel 200 is a commercially pure (99.6%) nickel. It is a solid solution strengthened wrought material with excellent mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion. It also has exceptional resistance to caustic alkalis at different concentrations and temperatures, however, the corrosion resistance is better in de-aerated acid. The alloy has low gas content and vapor pressure, and high thermal and electrical conductivities.
Other useful features of Nickel 200 are its magnetic and magnetostrictive properties, low gas content, and low vapor pressure. The chemical composition is shown below. The corrosion resistance of Nickel 200 makes it particularly useful for maintaining product purity in the handling of foods, synthetic fibers, and caustic alkalies, but also in structural applications where resistance to corrosion is of primary consideration.
