Description
Superior Nickel 200 Plate – High-Purity ASTM B162 Alloy Sheet
📌 Product Overview
The Nickel 200 Plate is a commercially pure wrought nickel material with a minimum nickel content of 99.0–99.9%, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and excellent mechanical properties. Manufactured in accordance with ASTM B162 specifications, this UNS N02200 Nickel Plate is a preferred material in chemical processing, marine, aerospace, food processing, and electronics applications.
Its low carbon content and purity give the Pure Nickel 200 Plate superior performance in reducing and neutral environments. It maintains outstanding ductility and toughness across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for both cryogenic and elevated temperature applications.
🔬 Chemical Composition
The Nickel 200 Plate conforms to ASTM B162 chemical requirements:
| Element | Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Nickel (Ni) | ≥ 99.0 |
| Copper (Cu) | ≤ 0.25 |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 0.40 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 0.35 |
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.15 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.35 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.01 |
