Nickel Alloy 201

  • Nickel Alloy 201
  • General Characteristics

    Nickel 201 is the low-carbon version of Nickel 200. Typical applications are caustic evaporators, combustion boats, platter bars and electronic components. Nickel 201, because of its low base hardness and lower work-hardening rate, is particularly suited for spinning and cold forming. It is preferred to Nickel 200 for applications involving exposure to temperatures above 600°F (315°C).
