Pure Nickel

Nickel 200 and Nickel 201 bar, rod, seamless pipe, tube and plate routes for specified industrial RFQs.

Nickel 200 and Nickel 201 purchasing starts with the exact UNS and product form. This category routes industrial RFQs to Nickel 200 / 201 seamless tube, Nickel 200 seamless pipe, Nickel 200 rod and bar, and Nickel 201 plate. ASTM B160 applies to rod and bar, ASTM B161 to seamless pipe and tube, and ASTM B162 to plate, sheet and strip when the applicable standard is ordered.
Nickel 201 has a lower carbon limit than Nickel 200, but grade selection must follow the buyer’s engineering specification and service review. Send exact UNS, product standard, dimensions, condition, quantity, service data and required inspection documents. MTC, EN 10204 3.1, heat or lot traceability and NDT are included only when agreed in the quotation and purchase order.

Nickel 200 and Nickel 201 product selection

This page is the Nickel 200 / Nickel 201 purchasing hub, not a general “pure nickel” reference page. Choose the product form first, then state the exact UNS, ordered standard, dimensions, condition and document scope.

Grade and documentation boundary: Nickel 201 has a lower carbon limit than Nickel 200, but the category does not select a grade from temperature or media alone. The buyer's engineering specification controls. MTC, EN 10204 3.1, heat or lot traceability and NDT are included only when agreed in the quotation and purchase order.

Send UNS, ASTM or project specification, product form, dimensions, condition, quantity, service data and required documents.

How ordering works for Nickel 200 and Nickel 201

Begin with the exact UNS and product form. Bar and rod, seamless pipe and tube, and plate follow different product standards, dimensional conventions and inspection routes. The quotation confirms condition, dimensions, tolerance, quantity and the current qualified supply route.

Price and production schedule depend on grade, form, dimensions, condition, quantity, inspection, testing, documents and packing. Minimum quantity, stock position and lead time are confirmed case by case after the full RFQ is reviewed.

Document scope: MTC, EN 10204 3.1, heat or lot traceability, dimensional report and applicable NDT are included only when agreed in the quotation and purchase order.

Pure Nickel RFQ questions

Which Pure Nickel grade should be specified?

Select the grade by service medium, strength requirement, forming or machining route and any buyer drawing. Common options in this category include Nickel 200, Nickel 201, UNS N02200, UNS N02201.

Which standards apply to Pure Nickel RFQs?

The purchase order should state the applicable material or project standard. Typical references for this category include ASTM B160 bar / rod, ASTM B161 pipe / tube, ASTM B162 plate / sheet, Ordered condition and documents.

What information should be sent for quotation?

Send grade, standard, dimensions, tolerance, quantity, surface condition, application, destination and required documents such as MTC or EN 10204 3.1.

More about Pure Nickel

Specification detail with sources

ASTM chemistry limits are what actually separate the two pure nickel grades: Nickel 200 allows carbon up to 0.15 percent while Nickel 201 caps it at 0.02 percent, and both require 99.0 percent minimum nickel. That carbon ceiling is why ASM Handbook and producer data place continuous service for Nickel 200 at no more than 315 C, with Nickel 201 taking the duty above that temperature where the higher carbon grade would embrittle through graphitization.

Beiyu quotes Nickel 200 and Nickel 201 tube against ASTM B163 from its documented supply envelope: capillary tube from 1 to 5 mm outside diameter with 0.1 to 2 mm walls in lengths to 6,000 mm, seamless tube from 5 to 325 mm outside diameter with 0.5 to 12 mm walls and welded tube from 6.35 to 1,219 mm outside diameter, seamless and welded both in lengths to 12,000 mm, with pure nickel wire from 0.5 to 6.0 mm alongside. Before quotation Beiyu reviews six fields on every pure nickel RFQ, grade, standard, dimensions, tolerance, surface condition and inspection scope, and release runs chemical analysis through one of two laboratory routes followed by dimensional inspection and third party inspection when the order agrees it.

Supply envelope for commercially pure nickel

Nickel 200 and Nickel 201 are separated by carbon content, so the enquiry has to name the number rather than describe the metal. Once the grade is fixed, the form decides the range.

Form Range
Round bar Ø5.0 mm to 300 mm, length to 6000 mm
Wire, in coil, on spool or straight Ø0.5 mm to 6.0 mm
Sheet 0.8 mm to 3.0 mm thick, width to 1200 mm, length to 6000 mm
Plate 3.0 mm to 70 mm thick, width to 2500 mm, length to 6000 mm
Seamless tube Outside diameter 5 mm to 325 mm, wall 0.5 mm to 12 mm, length to 12000 mm
Welded tube Outside diameter 6.35 mm to 1219 mm, wall 0.5 mm to 25 mm, length to 12000 mm
Capillary tube Outside diameter 1 mm to 5 mm, wall 0.1 mm to 2 mm, length to 6000 mm

Nickel 201 is the low carbon version, specified for extended service at elevated temperature where the carbon carried by Nickel 200 leads to embrittlement. Bar is quoted against ASME SB-160 and ASTM B160, plate against ASME SB-162 and ASTM B162, and seamless tube against ASME SB-163 and ASTM B163. Wire and welded tube are supplied to the applicable ASME or ASTM nickel specification, confirmed with the order rather than assumed from the form. The UNS number rather than the common name is what fixes the composition table on the certificate.

The ranges above are the Beiyu Titanium supply envelope rather than a statement that every condition and surface is available at every size, and the ordered combination is confirmed at quotation.
