A commercially pure Nickel (typically 99.6% Nickel), Nickel 201 is
essentially the same as Nickel 200, but with a lower Carbon content to
prevent embrittlement by inter granular carbon at temperatures over
315oC (600oF). Lower carbon content also reduces hardness.


 
 

Applications include:

  • Food Processing
  • Synthetic Fibre Processing
  • Heat Exchangers
  • Chemical Industries
  • Electrical Industries
