Description:
Commercially pure or low-alloy nickel has characteristics that are useful in several fields, notably chemical processing and electronics. Pure Nickel is highly resistant to various reducing chemicals and is unexcelled in resistance to caustic alkalis. Compared with nickel alloys, commercially pure nickel has high electrical and thermal conductivity. It also has a high Curie temperature and good magnetostrictive properties. Annealed nickel has a low hardness and good ductility and malleability. Those attributes, combined with good weldability, make the metal highly fabricable. Pure Nickel has a relatively low work-hardening rate, but it can be cold worked to moderately high strength levels while maintaining ductility. Nickel 200 and Nickel 201 are available.
Available Product Forms: Pipe, tube, sheet, strip, plate, round bar, flat bar, forging stock, hexagon and wire.
