Nickel Alloy 200 Uses
Due to its excellent properties, nickel alloy 200 is used in
various industrial applications. It is commonly used to manufacture
chemical processing equipment, electronic components, aerospace
components, and heat exchangers. Its high resistance to many
corrosive environments makes it an ideal material for marine
applications, where saline water and moist environments would
otherwise damage other metals.
Nickel Alloy 200 Corrosion Resistance
Nickel alloy 200 is highly resistant to many corrosive agents,
including dilute sulfuric acid, saltwater, and alkalis. It can
withstand extreme environmental conditions, making it ideal for
chemical processing equipment, electronics, and marine
applications. Nickel alloy 200 is also resistant to stress
corrosion cracking and offers good resistance to pitting and
crevice corrosion.
Nickel Alloy 200 Heat Treatment
Nickel alloy 200 can be heat treated to increase hardness and
strength. The most common heat treatment process for nickel alloy
200 is annealing, which softens the metal and reduces its hardness.
This makes it easier to machine and form. However, nickel alloy 200
cannot be hardened by heat treatment.
Nickel Alloy 200 Machining
Nickel alloy 200 requires special machining techniques due to its
high ductility and low work hardening rate. The recommended
machining techniques for nickel alloy 200 include slow speed and
heavy cuts, high feeds, and sharp cutting tools. The most commonly
used cutting tools for nickel alloy 200 are carbide and high-speed
steel—additionally, nickel alloy 200 machines are well under
lubrication to reduce friction and heat accumulation.
Nickel Alloy 200 Welding
Nickel alloy 200 exhibits good welding properties and can be welded
using various methods, including arc welding, TIG welding, and MIG
welding. When welding nickel alloy 200, precautions are essential
to prevent cracking, distortion, and porosity. The recommended
welding techniques for nickel alloy 200 include preheating the
metal, reducing the heat input, and controlling the welding speed.
