TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Technical Specifications
Detailed technical information including chemical composition, mechanical properties, standards and available dimensions.
Chemical Composition
UNS N02200 and N02201 share one nickel balance of 99.0% minimum, and the carbon ceiling alone separates the two grades inside this flat bar, at 0.15% for grade 200 against 0.02% for grade 201. Above all, that carbon gap decides how far this flat bar can run in hot service.
For an element-by-element account of every limit, open the composition breakdown held on the Nickel 200 / 201 material page for this flat bar.
Mechanical Properties
The minimum room-temperature values below apply to UNS N02200 and N02201 bar in the cold-worked, hot-worked and annealed conditions per ASTM B160. Condition and section size govern final acceptance of Nickel 200 / 201 flat bar.
| Condition and Section | Tensile Strength, min. | Yield Strength (0.2%), min. | Elongation, min. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nickel 200, cold-worked, rounds ≤ 25.4 mm (1 in.) | ≥80 ksi (550 MPa) | ≥60 ksi (415 MPa) | 10% |
| Nickel 200, cold-worked, rounds 25.4–101.6 mm (1–4 in.) | ≥75 ksi (515 MPa) | ≥50 ksi (345 MPa) | 15% |
| Nickel 200, cold-worked, squares, hexagons and rectangles | ≥65 ksi (450 MPa) | ≥40 ksi (275 MPa) | 25% |
| Nickel 200, hot-worked, all sections and sizes | ≥60 ksi (415 MPa) | ≥15 ksi (105 MPa) | 35% |
| Nickel 200, annealed, rods and bars of all sizes | ≥55 ksi (380 MPa) | ≥15 ksi (105 MPa) | 40% |
| Nickel 201, hot-worked, all sections and sizes | ≥50 ksi (345 MPa) | ≥10 ksi (70 MPa) | 40% |
| Nickel 201, annealed, all products and sizes | ≥50 ksi (345 MPa) | ≥10 ksi (70 MPa) | 40% |
- Elongation requirements do not apply to sections under 2.4 mm (3/32 in.), and the ordered condition together with the section size decides what the certificate states.
Physical Properties
Published references give this flat bar a density near 8.89 g/cm³ and a melting range of 1435–1446 °C. Moreover, the two grades part company on thermal conductivity, so design work on this flat bar starts from the grade actually ordered.
In addition, the physical properties table on the Nickel 200 / 201 material page carries the thermal conductivity, the electrical resistivity and the remaining design values behind this flat bar.
Heat Treatment
Nickel 200 / 201 flat bar softens by annealing rather than by aging. We supply this flat bar in the condition below that your duty calls for.
| Condition | Typical Treatment |
|---|---|
| Annealed | Held between 705 and 925 °C (1300–1697 °F), then cooled |
| Stress Relieved | 705–870 °C (1300–1600 °F) where straightness or residual stress demands it |
| Custom Condition | Heat treatment according to the agreed specification |
Standards
ASTM B160 is the principal UNS N02200 and N02201 bar and rod document for this flat bar, issued by ASTM International. Moreover, ASME SB160 covers pressure equipment built from this flat bar, and no aerospace material specification reaches either grade.
| Standard | Product or Application |
|---|---|
| ASTM B160 | Nickel rod and bar, UNS N02200 and N02201 |
| ASME SB160 | ASME counterpart for pressure equipment |
| DIN 17752 | Nickel bar and rod, European procurement |
Finally, the full standards list on the Nickel 200 / 201 material page adds the European designations, the pressure-code documents and the forgings specification behind this flat bar.
Dimensions
Dimensions of Nickel 200 / 201 flat bar follow the manufacturing route, the standard and the order quantity. The table below lists typical supply ranges, so please confirm your size in the inquiry.
| Product Form | Typical Supply | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Flat Bar | 3–100 mm thick × 10–300 mm wide | Cut to length or random |
| Rectangular Bar | 5–100 mm thick × 10–254 mm wide | Cut to length or random |
| Hot-Worked Flat Bar | 20–100 mm thick × 50–300 mm wide | Cut to length or random |
| Cold-Drawn Flat Bar | 3–60 mm thick × 10–150 mm wide | Cut to length |
| Bright Flat Bar | 3–100 mm thick × 10–254 mm wide | Cut to length or random |
| Forged Flat Bar | 20–150 mm thick × 50–400 mm wide | Cut to length |
| Custom Flat Bar | To drawing | Custom |
Available sizes of this flat bar depend on the manufacturing route, the standard, the material condition and the order quantity. Please confirm your required flat bar size, section and length in the inquiry.
Flats thinner than 3.2 mm or wider than 254 mm fall outside the ASTM B160 bar range, and we then quote that material to ASTM B162 for plate and strip.
Surface Finishes
Finish decides what happens at the next operation, whether that is a turning pass, a grinding pass or a welding cell. Specifically, we agree the finish on this Nickel 200 / 201 flat bar before we release the order.
| Surface Condition | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Hot-Worked | As-rolled surface on this flat bar, for parts that will be machined all over. |
| Annealed and Pickled | Descaling leaves this flat bar free of mill scale for fabrication work. |
| Polished | Low roughness on this flat bar for product-contact and visible parts. |
Meanwhile, the surface finishes table on the Nickel 200 / 201 material page lists the remaining conditions we quote for this flat bar.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which standard covers Nickel 200 / 201 Flat Bar?
ASTM B160 and ASME SB160 govern this flat bar for UNS N02200 and N02201 across round, square, hex and rectangular sections.
At what temperature should I order grade 201 instead of grade 200?
Above about 315 °C in continuous service, because grade 200 graphitizes there and grade 201 does not. Both grades suit cooler flat bar duty.
Is either grade suitable for wet hydrofluoric acid?
No. Wet hydrofluoric acid attacks both grades, so a copper-nickel alloy such as Monel 400 is the usual answer for that flat bar enquiry.
Can this flat bar be machined and welded?
Yes. This flat bar machines to a clean finish, and GTAW with ERNi-1 filler joins it without difficulty.
How is the price of this flat bar calculated?
Pricing follows weight for this flat bar, with the nickel quotation fixed on the date you receive the offer.
What is your MOQ for this flat bar?
A single piece covers many common sizes of this flat bar.
What are your trade terms for this flat bar?
FOB covers most orders for this flat bar, and EXW or CIF terms are available when you ask.
What is the lead time for this flat bar?
Stock sizes of this flat bar dispatch in 7 to 15 days, while made-to-order sections take longer.
Do you provide EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificates for this flat bar?
Yes. Every heat of this flat bar ships with 3.1, and a 3.2 endorsement is booked through the order.
What information should an enquiry for this flat bar include?
Please send grade, section, diameter, length, condition, finish, quantity and destination so we can quote this flat bar accurately.
