\n
Nickel 200<\/div>\n
UNS N02200 \u00b7 W.Nr. 2.4066 (Special Metals also lists 2.4060 for the same alloy) \u00b7 DIN\/EN designation (S-)Ni99.6; producer designation Nickel 99.2 \u00b7 Ni(+Co) 99.0% min \u2013 C 0.15% max \u2013 Cu 0.25% max \u2013 Fe 0.40% max \u2013 Mn 0.35% max \u2013 Si 0.35% max \u2013 S 0.010% max (ASTM B160 and ASTM B162 Table 1). It is commercially pure nickel; no strengthening alloying element is added.<\/div>\n
\n
Not to be confused with<\/div>\n

Nickel 201<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
For what<\/div>\n
Commercially pure nickel. It is NOT PRECIPITATION HARDENABLE; it takes its strength from cold work only and cannot be hardened by ageing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Forms<\/div>\n
Round bar \u00b7 flat bar \u00b7 plate \u00b7 sheet \u00b7 tube and pipe \u00b7 forging. All forms are supplied to order.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Standards<\/div>\n
AMS \u2014 NO AMS number belonging to Nickel 200 (N02200) could be verified one by one in this work. AMS 5553<\/b> is the low-carbon (C 0.02% max) sheet and strip specification and belongs to Nickel 201. \u00b7 ASTM B160 \/ ASME SB-160 \u2014 rod and bar. \u00b7 ASTM B161 \/ ASME SB-161 \u2014 seamless pipe and tube. \u00b7 ASTM B162 \/ ASME SB-162 \u2014 plate, sheet and strip. \u00b7 ASTM B163 \/ ASME SB-163 \u2014 condenser and heat-exchanger tube. \u00b7 ASTM B366 \/ ASME SB-366 \u2014 welded fittings. \u00b7 ASTM B564 \/ ASME SB-564 \u2014 forgings. \u00b7 ASTM B725 \/ ASME SB-725 \u2014 welded pipe. \u00b7 ASTM B730 \/ ASME SB-730 \u2014 welded tube. \u00b7 ASTM B751, B775, B829 \u2014 general requirements for tubular products. \u00b7 DIN 17740, 17750, 17751, 17752, 17753, 17754 \u00b7 ISO 6207, 6208, 9723, 9724, 9725 \u00b7 BS 3072, 3073, 3074.
AMS TRAP: the official title of AMS 5553 is ‘Nickel, Sheet And Strip Low (0.02 Max) Carbon Annealed’. Because the carbon ceiling is 0.02%, this specification belongs to NICKEL 201 (N02201) and cannot be used when ordering Nickel 200.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Advantage<\/div>\n
For the same purity of nickel, the specification minimums are higher for service below 315 \u00b0C: in ASTM B162, annealed plate, sheet and strip requires 380 MPa tensile and 100 MPa yield for N02200 against 345 MPa and 80 MPa for N02201;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Welding<\/div>\n
Filler metal: Special Metals Nickel Filler Metal 61 (gas tungsten arc and gas metal arc) and Nickel Welding Electrode 141 (shielded metal arc). Preheat is not normally required \u2014 the Special Metals joining handbook states that preheating nickel alloys prior to welding is not normally required.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Limits<\/div>\n
NOT USED ABOVE 315 \u00b0C (600 \u00b0F). The carbon ceiling of Nickel 200 is 0.15%; on prolonged exposure above this temperature the carbon precipitates as graphite, weakens the grain boundaries and embrittles the material. This temperature limit is given identically by five independent sources.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
