Nickel 200 Foil for Energy and Chemical Applications

Nickel 200 foil may be considered for electrical and chemical components when its grade, condition and dimensions meet the design. Performance depends on the operating environment, geometry, joining and testing; a material designation alone does not guarantee device efficiency or service life.

Material and product specification

Nickel 200 is commercially pure nickel, UNS N02200. ASTM B162 covers rolled nickel plate, sheet and strip, including Nickel 200. Check whether the required foil form, thickness and condition fall within the contracted edition. Specify the dimensions and tolerance, surface, coil or cut length, quantity, and inspection documents. Verify chemistry and acceptance against the order and supplied-lot records.

Energy and electrical components

Nickel foil may be evaluated for tabs, contacts or other conductive components. The appropriate material and thickness depend on current, temperature, joint resistance, assembly geometry and cycling. Measure performance of representative joints and assemblies. A catalog conductivity value does not establish resistance, overheating risk or battery life for a finished device.

Nickel 200 is ferromagnetic at ordinary temperatures. Where magnetic response or shielding matters, test the component over the relevant operating conditions. A material grade alone does not establish shielding effectiveness.

Chemical service and temperature

Nickel 200 may be considered for certain alkaline or reducing environments. Corrosion depends on the medium, concentration, temperature, impurities, flow, joining and exposure. Do not transfer a corrosion rate or lifetime from one process to another.

For elevated-temperature service, compare the applicable manufacturer data for Nickel 200 and lower-carbon Nickel 201. Special Metals recommends considering Nickel 201 above 315 °C; the actual design must also account for atmosphere, loading, duration and the governing specification.

Procurement and qualification

Provide material grade, standard and edition, thickness and tolerance, width, length or coil, condition, surface, service conditions, quantity and required test records. Agree any electrical, corrosion or joint tests before ordering. A material certificate does not qualify a battery, pressure component or other finished device.
