Nickel 201 Plate | UNS N02201 ASTM B162 Nickel Plate

Why the low-carbon UNS N02201, and what Beiyu quotes against

Nickel 201 plate, UNS N02201, is the low-carbon version of commercially pure nickel. It is commonly selected when a buyer needs nickel plate for caustic alkali equipment, chemical processing parts, electrical components, heat-transfer equipment or fabricated assemblies where carbon control matters during high-temperature service.

Beiyu quotes Nickel 201 plate against the buyer’s drawing, ASTM or ASME standard, size, surface and inspection requirements. This page is for industrial RFQs, not for consumer sheet or decorative plate inquiries.

Available Grades and Standards

Size, Tolerance and Surface

Nickel plate quotations should include thickness, width, length, flatness or tolerance requirement, edge condition, surface finish and quantity. If the plate will be cut, formed, welded or machined after delivery, include the downstream process so the material condition and packing method can be reviewed before quotation.

• Thickness: specify nominal thickness and tolerance.
• Width and length: provide finished size or cutting allowance.
• Surface: pickled, ground, polished or as required by drawing.
• Cutting: rectangular plate, blanks or project-specific cut pieces can be reviewed from drawings.

Common Applications

Nickel 201 plate is used in caustic soda equipment, evaporators, chemical vessels, heat exchangers, electrical components, alkali handling systems and fabricated process parts. The final material choice should be checked against operating temperature, medium concentration, welding plan, pressure design and inspection requirement.

Inspection and Documentation

For procurement review, buyers can request chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat number traceability, dimensional inspection, surface inspection and material test certificates. PMI, ultrasonic testing, third-party inspection or project-specific documentation can be discussed when they are stated before production or shipment.

Packaging and Export Information

Nickel 201 plates are packed according to size, surface finish and transport method. Common export packing details include surface protection, edge protection, separation between plates, moisture protection and wooden case or pallet packing. Marking can include material grade, heat number, size and PO reference when required.

RFQ Information Needed

• Nickel 201 / UNS N02201 and ASTM B162, ASME SB162 or project standard.
• Thickness, width, length, tolerance, quantity and surface condition.
• Cut-to-size drawing, edge requirement or machining allowance if applicable.
• Inspection, MTC, EN 10204 3.1, PMI or third-party inspection requirement.
• Packing method, destination country and shipping terms.

FAQ

What information is needed for a Nickel 201 plate quotation?

Send grade, standard, thickness, width, length, tolerance, quantity, surface condition, inspection documents, packing requirement and destination country. Drawings are useful for cut pieces or fabricated parts.

Can Nickel 201 plate be supplied with EN 10204 3.1 documentation?

Yes, request EN 10204 3.1 documentation in the RFQ so the document scope and heat traceability can be confirmed before quotation.

When should Nickel 201 be selected instead of Nickel 200?

Nickel 201 is usually selected when the project specification calls for UNS N02201 or when low carbon content is required for high-temperature caustic service. The final choice should follow the engineering specification.

Can Beiyu quote cut-to-size Nickel 201 plate?

Cut pieces can be reviewed when the buyer provides finished dimensions, tolerance, drawing, quantity and edge requirement.

Specification detail with sources

The Beiyu Titanium supply ranges publish nickel plate at 3.0 mm to 70 mm thick in widths to 2500 mm and lengths to 6000 mm, sheet at 0.8 mm to 3.0 mm thick in widths to 1200 mm, and pair Nickel 200 and Nickel 201, UNS N02200 and N02201, with ASTM B162 in that row.

Nickel 201 is the low carbon version of Nickel 200, specified for extended service at elevated temperature where the carbon carried by Nickel 200 leads to embrittlement. That is a chemistry difference rather than a dimensional one, so it does not change the thickness range above and it does change what the certificate has to show. An enquiry that names a thickness and the words pure nickel has not yet named a grade.
