Nickel 200 Round Bar UNS N02200 2.4066 ASTM B160 Standard Nickel
Alloy Round Bar
Nickel 200 Round Bar is a solid, cylindrical bar made from
commercially pure nickel (99.6% nickel content). It is a
high-performance material known for its excellent corrosion
resistance, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and good
mechanical properties. Nickel 200 is widely used in industries that
require resistance to corrosive environments and high temperatures.
Material Composition:
The chemical composition of Nickel 200 typically includes:
Nickel (Ni): 99.6% min
Carbon (C): 0.15% max
Iron (Fe): 0.40% max
Manganese (Mn): 0.35% max
Silicon (Si): 0.35% max
Copper (Cu): 0.25% max
Sulfur (S): 0.01% max
Key Properties:
