Nickel 200, 201, & 233 Properties

nickel 200 201 233 physical mechanical properties specifications

EFINEA recognizes the significance of the metallurgical properties when evaluating the grades of commercially pure nickel for inclusion in an application. As a guide in your assessment, we have provided the property data for Nickel 200, Nickel 201, and Nickel 233. The tables include the typical mechanical and physical properties, as well as the chemistry of the various grades of nickel along with their designated specifications.

 

In addition, Nickel 200 and Nickel 201 Thermal & Electrical properties and Nickel 201 Tensile properties can be found in the tables below.

 

Commercially pure wrought, Nickel 200 provides good mechanical properties. In comparison, Nickel 201 has a lower carbon content for better formability. Nickel 233 is also a commercially pure wrought nickel with excellent corrosion resistance properties, but the residual elements are under strict controls.
