Nickel 200 vs Nickel 201 Pipes
Nickel 200 and Nickel 201 are commercially pure nickel alloys widely used in chemical processing, marine, power generation and industrial applications. While both grades offer excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, Nickel 201 contains lower carbon content, making it more suitable for elevated temperature applications.
| Property | Nickel 200 Pipes | Nickel 201 Pipes |
|---|---|---|
| UNS Number | N02200 | N02201 |
| Werkstoff Number | 2.4066 | 2.4068 |
| Nickel Content | 99.6% Min | 99.6% Min |
| Carbon Content | Higher (0.15% Max) | Lower (0.02% Max) |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent | Excellent |
| High Temperature Performance | Good | Superior |
| Mechanical Strength | Higher | Slightly Lower |
| Weldability | Excellent | Excellent |
| Typical Applications | Chemical Processing, Food Processing, Marine Equipment | Heat Exchangers, Caustic Evaporators, High-Temperature Equipment |
The primary difference between Nickel 200 Pipes and Nickel 201 Pipes is carbon content. Nickel 201 is preferred for applications involving temperatures above 315°C (600°F), while Nickel 200 is commonly used in general corrosion-resistant industrial applications where higher mechanical strength is required.

Mechanical Properties of Nickel Pipe
Tensile Strength
Tensile strength represents the maximum stress a nickel pipe can withstand before failure. Nickel pipes offer strong tensile performance, making them suitable for demanding chemical, marine and high-temperature applications.
Yield Strength
Yield strength indicates the stress level at which permanent deformation begins. Nickel pipes maintain stable yield strength, ensuring reliable performance in pressure systems and structural applications.
Elongation
Elongation measures the ductility and ability of nickel pipes to stretch before breaking. High elongation improves formability, making nickel pipes easy to bend, fabricate and install.
| Grade | Tensile Strength (MPa, Min) | Yield Strength (MPa, Min) | Elongation (% Min) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nickel 200 | 380 | 100 | 40% |
| Nickel 201 | 345 | 80 | 40% |
