Nickel 200 is a wrought commercially pure nickel product. The alloy provides highly ductile mechanical properties across a wide temperature range and good corrosion resistance in neutral to moderately reducing environments. In the annealed condition, the alloy possesses the approximate strength of mild steel.
The nickel alloys are readily fabricated by standard fabrication practices. The materials are covered by a variety of specifications and are assigned maximum allowable stresses in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Nickel 200 is ferromagnetic and provides high thermal and electrical conductivity in comparison to nickel base alloys, stainless and low alloy steels.
Because long term exposures of Nickel 200 in the 800 to 1200°F range can result in precipitation of a carbon containing phase and loss of ductility, the alloy is not recommended for service above 600°F.
