Nickel 200 / 201
Nickel is a metal with a silvery white luster, and like iron, it can be forged and welded, and it is also rich in malleability and ductility. Polishing is also possible. It has strong magnetism, but is weaker than iron. The electrical conductivity is 14.9% of copper, and it is more stable than iron against air and moisture, so it is not easily oxidized and is not easily corroded by alkali. It is easily soluble in dilute nitric acid, but in concentrated nitric acid it becomes immobile and does not corrode like iron. Reacts violently with chlorine and bromine.
Type Analysis
Description
Nickel 200/201 alloy is commercially available pure nickel with good corrosion resistance.
It is ferromagnetic and has a relatively low electrical resistance. This combination of properties makes them usable in a variety of applications.
Because of its excellent corrosion resistance, this alloy has been used in food handling equipment, corrosive solutions, and general corrosion-resistant parts and structures.
Their magnetic and mechanical properties allow them to be used in devices that require magnetically actuated parts.
Nickel 200/201 alloy is a combination of excellent properties that can be cold worked through forming and delivery.
It welds easily at both sub-zero and high temperatures and retains its properties.
Due to its low electrical resistivity, it can be used for:
Conducting leads and terminals in electrical and electronic components Nickel has been used in sonic devices such as sonar and control units because of its magnetic properties (especially significant length changes when magnetized).
Ultrasonic welding.
