Nickel 200 and Nickel 201 bar pages often share one table even though the UNS designation, condition, finish and machining allowance still have to be chosen. This comparison records the bar routes on six company-owned pages so a buyer can separate a material identity question from a stock-size question.
How the six Nickel 200/201 bar pages were selected
We froze the queries nickel 200 rod suppliers manufacturer ASTM B160 and Nickel 200 201 round bar supplier on 1 September 2026. Eligible results were accessible company-owned pages that expressly covered Nickel 200 or 200/201 bar or rod. Beiyu, directories, marketplaces, list articles, duplicate domains and pages limited to tube, sheet or wire were removed. The order is a dated discovery sequence, not a performance score.
| Company page | Page content recorded | Grades and standards stated | Published forms or dimensions | RFQ check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sasa Alloy | Nickel 200 bar product page | N02200; ASTM B160 / ASME SB160 | Round, rod, bright, peeled, ground and cut forms; common diameter field 6-200 mm | Which condition, finish, tolerance and actual diameter/length are quoted? |
| CXMET | ASTM B160 nickel rod page | N4/N6 and Ni200/Ni201 wording; ASTM B160 | OD 3-300 mm; cold-rolled route stated | Return one UNS designation and condition rather than relying on mixed grade labels |
| Nicorex Alloys | Nickel 200/201 round-bar page | N02200/N02201; ASTM B160; EN 10204 3.1 and PMI statements | No consolidated size envelope used here | Which alloy, diameter, condition, stock heat and inspection package are available now? |
| Magellan Metals | Nickel 200 bar RFQ page | N02200; ASME SB160 | Round, flat and square routes plus secondary processing; no numeric envelope used | Confirm ASTM/ASME basis, shape, cut length, finish and machining allowance |
| Continental Steel & Tube | Multi-form Nickel 200 page | N02200; rods and bars mapped to ASTM B160 / ASME SB160 | Rod and bar are the relevant forms recorded here | Do not transfer standards listed for other forms onto the bar order |
| Special Metals | Company-hosted Nickel 200/201 bulletin | N02200/N02201 with rod/bar reference data | Condition-dependent nominal properties; no stock-size envelope | Use as alloy/form literature, then obtain commercial size and availability separately |
A combined 200/201 page does not make the grades interchangeable. The drawing or service specification should choose the exact UNS designation. The supplier then has to tie that identity to one condition, bar shape, size and certificate.
Grade, condition and machining stock are three decisions
| Decision | What to state | What can go wrong if it is omitted |
|---|---|---|
| Nickel 200 or 201? | Exact grade and UNS from the drawing/service specification | “Pure nickel” or a combined page can leave the exact UNS unresolved |
| Which condition? | Hot-finished, cold-finished, annealed or other ordered condition | The same UNS can arrive with different mechanical and machining behaviour |
| Which bar form? | Round, square, hex, flat or drawing-based blank | A diameter range cannot define a flat or hexagonal section |
| What machining allowance? | Finished diameter, ordered diameter, tolerance, straightness, surface and cut length | Nominal stock may not clean up to the finished drawing |
Temperature and corrosion guidance on a supplier page is screening information. Material selection still belongs to the design basis, medium, concentration, temperature, stress and governing code; the quotation should not silently choose between N02200 and N02201.
Send one controlled Nickel 200/201 bar RFQ
| RFQ line | Buyer input | Required return |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Nickel 200/N02200 or Nickel 201/N02201; ASTM B160 or project standard | One exact alloy and standard on quotation and MTC |
| Shape and size | Round/square/hex/flat, diameter or section, tolerance, straightness, length and quantity | Finished supplied dimensions in one unit |
| Condition and surface | Ordered condition, peeled/ground/bright/as-finished surface and roughness if controlled | Condition and finish tied to the quoted size |
| Machining basis | Finished drawing, machining allowance, end condition and cut-length tolerance | Starting-stock size and any processing included |
| Inspection | Chemistry/mechanical report, dimensions, PMI if specified, MTC and heat marking | Acceptance criteria, heat/lot link and certificate scope |
| Commercial basis | Quantity, stock or production need, packing, Incoterm, destination and required date | Actual availability, lead time, quote validity and exclusions |
Where Beiyu fits
Beiyu is outside the six-company set. Its live Nickel 200 rod page accepts N02200 bar and machining-stock enquiries to ASTM B160 when specified and publishes a 5-300 mm diameter, length-to-6,000 mm supply envelope. That envelope is not a stock statement.
Nickel 201 / N02201 is handled as a separate material identity when required. The quotation must settle UNS, diameter and tolerance, length and straightness, condition, surface, quantity, inspection and certificate scope before price comparison.
How to use this comparison
Remove pages that cannot return the exact UNS, bar shape, condition and size. Send the remaining suppliers the same machining-stock order line. Compare price and lead time only after starting size, condition, surface, inspection and document scope are aligned.

Specification detail with sources
Beiyu Titanium publishes this list and is not part of the comparison above. For readers who want the publisher’s own figures on the same basis they would ask of any supplier on this page, the material is specified to ASTM B348, and each order carries an EN 10204 type 3.1 certificate with heat and pour numbers by order scope.
Round bar runs 1 to 500 mm diameter, square 3 x 3 to 500 x 500 mm, flat 3 x 12.7 to 30 x 500 mm and hexagon up to 17 mm across flats, in lengths to 6000 mm. The precision ground route covers 3.175 to 25.4 mm diameter at +/-0.0127 mm, tightened to +/-0.0076 mm against a drawing, with straightness held to 0.5 mm per metre and 0.3 mm per metre at 25 mm and under.
Bar from the precision ground line runs five inspections at 100 percent coverage rather than by sampling: ultrasonic, eddy current, surface optical, infrared laser diameter and straightness. The ultrasonic parameters are immersion method, focused longitudinal wave, 100 percent of the circumference, a 1.2 mm flat-bottom hole reference at 80 percent screen height, 10 MHz, Class A1, to AMS-STD-2154 or GB/T 5193. These are Beiyu published supply figures and inspection parameters, not limits taken from the standard; limit values belong to ASTM B348 and are confirmed against the exact edition named on the purchase order. Certification is stated as a production capability, and no stock position, delivery time or price is implied by any figure on this page.
