What Are the Composition, Properties, and Industrial Uses of Nickel 200 Wire?

Nickel 200, also identified as UNS N02200, is a commercially pure nickel grade. Wire selection begins with the grade, product-form specification, dimensions, condition and evidence required for the order. Composition and performance limits must be taken from the governing specification and the material documents for the supplied lot.

Composition and material identity

Nickel 200 is an unalloyed nickel designation. The applicable specification defines chemical requirements and acceptance procedures. Do not substitute an assumed typical composition or an unrelated alloy specification for the agreed limits; use the material certificate and any required independent analysis to verify the order.

Properties depend on condition and testing

Mechanical behavior, electrical properties and surface characteristics depend on material condition, processing, temperature, dimensions and measurement method. If tensile properties, conductivity or other values are needed for design or acceptance, specify the test method, test temperature, sampling and acceptance criteria and obtain the appropriate evidence.

Industrial applications

Nickel 200 wire may be evaluated for electrical, chemical-process and other fabricated components. Compatibility depends on the actual medium, temperature, load, joining and design. The material grade or a supplier certificate alone does not establish finished-component suitability or service life.

Frequently asked questions

Is every nickel-alloy specification applicable to Nickel 200?

No. Confirm that the specification covers the ordered material designation and wire form, and agree its edition in the purchase order.

Can one set of values represent every wire lot?

No. Use the agreed specification and lot-specific test records where required.

Requesting material and documents

Specify Nickel 200 or the material required by the drawing; the applicable wire specification and edition; diameter and tolerance; coil or straight length; condition and surface; quantity; packaging; and any required inspection or material certificate. Agree lot traceability and supplementary testing before ordering.
