Carlson Alloy C 201 Commercially Pure Nickel

Subcategory: Superalloy; Pure Element; Nonferrous Metal; Nickel Base

Key Words: UNS N02201

General Description

Carlson Alloy C 200 is commercially pure nickel, combining good mechanical properties with excellent resistance to many corrosive environments. This alloy retains its strength at high temperatures. It is tough and ductile at sub-zero temperatures.

C 200 is ferromagnetic and has one of the largest magnetostrictive effects of any commercial material. Its thermal and electrical conductivities are considerably higher than other stainless steels of nickel alloys.

Carlson C 201 is a restricted carbon (0.02% max.) version of C 200. It is preferred for exposure to temperatures above 600°F (315°C); and it is superior whenever creep strength is an important criterion.

Applications

C200 and C 201 provide excellent corrosion resistance to hot concentrated alkali (except ammonium hydroxide). These alloys exhibit good corrosion resistance to dry chlorine, fluorine, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride up to moderately elevated temperatures.

The corrosion resistance of both alloys make them particularly useful for maintaining product purity in food processing and in the production or processing of synthetic fibers, alkalis, fatty acids, soaps and detergents.

• Chemical Processing – caustic processing and storage, chemical shipping containers, synthetic fiber productions, fluorine electrolysis.
• Food Processing Equipment
• Magnetostructive Devices
• Aerospace and Missile components – rocket motor cases.
