Key steps in manufacturing Nickel 200 Tube
As a leading Nickel 200 tube manufacturer, we produce UNS N02200 tubes by heating and hot extruded a high-purity nickel billet into a hollow shell. This shell is then hot-worked and cold-drawn to get the exact size and surface finish. Final annealing heat treatment is done to relieve internal stresses, make the material more flexible and make sure that its mechanical properties are always consistent, as required by ASTM specifications. Check out our detailed manufacturing process.
What are the Features of Alloy 200 Nickel Tubing?
Nickel alloy 200 tubing has 5 key features. These include corrosion resistance, great thermal/electrical conductivity, good mechanical properties, high strength and low gas content and low vapor pressure.
- Corrosion Resistance: Alloy 200 tube provides excellent resistance to corrosion from caustic alkalies and neutral salt solutions. It remains stable in these environments because of its high-purity nickel content.
- Great Thermal/Electrical Conductivity: This tube has high thermal and electrical conductivity due to its high nickel purity. Its conductivity is higher than other nickel alloys such as Monel, Inconel, and Hastelloy. This allows it to transfer heat and electricity efficiently in demanding industries.
- Good Mechanical Properties: Nickel 200 tube maintains good mechanical properties over a wide range of temperatures, from sub-zero to 600º F. This makes sure that the material stays strong and flexible even under various working loads.
- High Strength: Nickel Alloy 200 tubing is very strong, so it can handle a lot of internal and external pressure. It keeps pipelines and reactors strong in harsh environments.
- Low Gas Content and Low Vapor Pressure: The tube has low gas content and low vapor pressure. This is important for vacuum applications. This feature prevents contamination and ensures stability in sensitive electronic or chemical environments.
