Frequently Asked Questions About Nickel Alloy 200 & 201 Forged Pipe Fittings
What are Nickel Alloy 200 and 201 Forged Pipe Fittings?
Nickel Alloy 200 (UNS N02200) and Nickel Alloy 201 (UNS N02201) are commercially pure wrought nickel materials used to manufacture forged pipe fittings. These fittings are known for their excellent corrosion resistance, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and good mechanical properties across a wide temperature range. They are commonly available in types such as elbows, tees, reducers, caps, crosses, unions, and stub ends, manufactured to standards like ASTM B564 / ASME SB564 and ASME B16.11 [citation:1][citation:2].
What is the difference between Nickel 200 and Nickel 201?
The primary difference lies in their carbon content. Nickel 200 has a higher carbon content (max 0.15%), while Nickel 201 is the low-carbon version (max 0.02%) [citation:3][citation:10]. This makes Nickel 201 suitable for applications with operating temperatures above 315°C (600°F), where Nickel 200 might suffer from graphitization, which can compromise its ductility and corrosion resistance. For temperatures up to 315°C, Nickel 200 performs exceptionally well, while Nickel 201 is preferred for higher-temperature service, offering better resistance to intergranular corrosion [citation:3][citation:6].
What manufacturing standards and pressure classes are available?
Our Nickel 200 and 201 Forged Pipe Fittings are manufactured in compliance with ASTM B564 / ASME SB564 for material specifications and ASME B16.11, MSS SP-79, MSS SP-83, MSS SP-95, and BS 3799 for dimensional standards. They are available in pressure classes such as 2000 LBS, 3000 LBS, 6000 LBS, and 9000 LBS [citation:1][citation:2][citation:8]. These fittings are ISO 9001:2015 certified with PMI, NDT, and Third Party Inspection.
What types of forged fittings are available in Nickel 200 and 201?
We offer a complete range of forged fittings in both grades, including 45° and 90° elbows, equal and reducing tees, crosses, concentric and eccentric reducers, caps, unions, couplings (full and half), hexagon and reducing nipples, plugs, and bushings. Forged outlet fittings such as weldolets, sockolets, threadolets, and elbolets are also available [citation:1][citation:2][citation:8]. Customized dimensions are available upon request.
What are the typical mechanical properties of Nickel 200 and 201?
Both Nickel 200 and 201 offer a tensile strength of 55-75 ksi (380-520 MPa) with a yield strength of 15-30 ksi (105-210 MPa) at 0.2% offset. They have an elongation of 40-55% in 2 inches, demonstrating excellent ductility. The hardness is typically 90-120 Brinell (45-70 Rockwell B) [citation:10]. Both materials exhibit good fatigue strength and a shear modulus of approximately 70 GPa [citation:6].
What physical properties make Nickel 200 and 201 unique?
Nickel 200 and 201 are characterized by high ductility over a wide temperature range, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and good magnetostriction properties. They have a melting point of approximately 1435-1445°C and a density of 8.89 g/cm³. Their thermal conductivity at 20°C is about 69-79 W/m·K, and electrical conductivity is around 18-19% IACS [citation:3][citation:6]. Both materials are ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature of approximately 360°C.
Which industries commonly use Nickel 200 and 201 Forged Pipe Fittings?
These fittings are widely used across multiple industries, including chemical processing, petrochemicals and refineries, oil and gas, food processing, pharmaceutical, aerospace, power generation, and electronics. They are also used in applications requiring corrosion resistance to caustic alkalis, hydrofluoric acid, and other aggressive chemicals [citation:4][citation:5][citation:10].

What testing and inspection do you perform on Nickel Alloy Forged Fittings?
Our Nickel 200 and 201 forged fittings undergo rigorous quality checks, including radiography testing (RT), ultrasonic testing (UT), hydrostatic testing, visual and dimensional examination, chemical composition analysis, and mechanical property testing. This ensures material compliance with strict industry standards and eliminates defects like misalignment, surface irregularities, and dimensional inconsistencies.
Do you provide material test certificates with Nickel forged pipe fittings?
Yes, we provide full material traceability with EN 10204 Type 3.1 (manufacturer’s test certificate) and Type 3.2 (third-party inspection) documentation. Additional testing — including PMI (Positive Material Identification), hydrostatic, ultrasonic, and NDT — can be arranged as per customer requirements.
