Nickel 201

Description

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. Lower carbon content also reduces hardness, which makes it ideally suited for spinning and cold forming. The metal showcases good magnetostrictive properties. The alloy also displays High electrical and thermal conductivity with Good ductility and low work hardening rate. It also has good weldability and solderability. It is resistant to acids and alkalis, and dry gases at room temperature. It is also resistant to mineral acids depending on the temperature and concentration of the solution.
