Features
- ASTM B160 nickel rod and bar for UNS N02200, UNS N02201, and UNS N02211.
- Hot-worked and cold-worked rod and bar in round, square, hexagonal, and rectangular solid sections.
- Nickel 200 offers excellent resistance to caustic alkalies and many reducing chemicals, with high thermal and electrical conductivity.
- Nickel 201 has the same corrosion resistance as Nickel 200, with lower carbon content for better performance above 600°F (315°C).
- Nickel 211 is the solution-strengthened grade included under ASTM B160 for applications requiring nickel-bar products with a different strength balance.
