NICKEL ALLOYS

Alloy 400: is a Nickel-Copper alloy well known as a corrosion resistive material by sulphuric, sea water, hydrochloric and phosphoric acids. With temperatures up to 450 C it keeps strong and tough whilst in service. Typical applications include: pickling plant and chemical processing equipment. Alloy K 500: an age-hardening alloy combining the corrosion resistance typical of alloy 400 with increased strength and hardness. It keeps its strength up to about 650C and is strong and ductile at temperatures as low as -250 C. This alloy has a low magnetic permeability and is non-magnetic down to -130 C. Nickel 200: Commercially pure wrought nickel with good mechanical properties and resistance to a range of corrosive environments. It is used for chemical and processing plant, particularly for maintaining product purity in the handling of foods, synthetic fibres and caustic alkalis. Material is available in wire, strip and ribbon. Nickel 212: A nickel grade with 2% manganese used for electrode support wire in radio valves, tungsten filament lamps, cathode ray and television display tubes.
