Ni200 (UNS N02200) Pure Nickel Bar – ASTM B160 Certified Quality from ZYTC Alloy
At ZYTC Alloy, we are proud to announce the successful completion and delivery of an export order for Ni200 (UNS N02200) Pure Nickel Bar to Taiwan. Produced in strict accordance with ASTM B160, the shipment featured ø35mm diameter Ni200 round bars, all of which passed rigorous inspection and testing prior to customer release. This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to standardization, process-driven workflow, and specialized production at every stage of manufacturing.
Ni200, also designated as UNS N02200 and commercially known as Nickel 200, is a commercially pure wrought nickel grade that delivers an exceptional combination of mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and physical performance. With a minimum nickel content of 99.0%, Ni200 exhibits outstanding resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments, particularly caustic alkalis and reducing chemicals.
Chemical Composition of Ni200 (UNS N02200)
The chemical composition of Ni200 is tightly controlled to ensure consistent performance. According to ASTM B160 specifications, the elemental limits for UNS N02200 are as follows:
| Element | Content (Max, unless noted) |
|---|---|
| Nickel (Ni) | 99.0% min (including cobalt) |
| Carbon (C) | 0.15% max |
| Copper (Cu) | 0.25% max |
| Iron (Fe) | 0.40% max |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0.35% max |
| Silicon (Si) | 0.35% max |
| Sulfur (S) | 0.010% max |
This carefully balanced chemistry gives Ni200 its signature corrosion resistance and mechanical stability across a broad temperature range.
