Ni 201 and Ni 200 are also known as Nickel Alloy Ni-201 and Commercially Pure Nickel, Ni 201. Ni 201 only differs from Ni 200 by its carbon content (.02% max in Ni 201 versus .15% max in Ni 200). This slight drop in carbon allows Ni 201 to be utilized in higher temperature applications (over 600°F) including:
· Handling and manufacturing sodium hydroxide above 300°C
· Soap manufacturing
· Viscose Rayon manufacturing
· Production of benzene, methane, and ethane
· Reactors and vessels
Like Ni 200, Ni 201 offers a wide range of benefits to users including:
· It can be hot formed in a almost unlimited number of shapes
· Cold rolled under proper conditions
· Highly resistant to various reducing chemicals
· Outstanding resistance to caustic alkalis
· Good electrical and magnetostrictive properties
· High electrical and thermal conductivity
· The toughness of nickel
Ni 201 is composed of roughly the same chemicals as Ni 200 except for the aforementioned difference in carbon content.
· Ni 99% min
· Fe .40% max
· Mn .35% max
· Si .35% max
· Cu .25% max
· C .02% max
