When a leading pharmaceutical company faced corrosion issues in their high-purity chemical processing vessels, the switch to Nickel 200 / 201 Round Bars proved transformative. The inherent resistance to chlorides, acids, and high purity environments sharply reduced maintenance and cycle downtime. This success story highlights how industries like chemical, marine, oil & gas, and power are turning to nickel alloys for durability and reliability in their most corrosive applications.

Nickel 200 (UNS N02200) and Nickel 201 (UNS N02201) are commercially pure nickel alloys prized for their excellent corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and good mechanical properties. Nickel 200 offers high purity and good formability, while Nickel 201 has a slightly higher carbon content for increased strength. Both grades are used extensively in chemical processing, marine hardware, and electrical components where chloride or acid exposure is prevalent. They maintain excellent performance even in extreme environments with pH levels that would corrode standard steels.
Aurico Alloys LLP supplies Nickel 200/201 round bars globally, available in diameters from 6mm to 150mm in various finishes including bright, polished, or custom-finished. Each batch is supplied with full mill test certificates, traceability, and compliance with ASTM B160, ASTM B160, ASTM B160, and ISO standards. These bars are easy to weld, form, and machine, facilitating their use in critical applications from piping to high-purity vessels, ensuring safety, longevity, and performance.
Industries demanding high corrosion resistance, such as chemical manufacturing and marine operating environments, prefer Nickel 200 and 201 basal alloys for their outstanding resistance to chlorides, acids, and seawater. The alloy’s low corrosion rate in aggressive environments reduces maintenance costs and extends operational lifetimes, offering true value over common stainless steels. Their electrical conductivity also opens up applications in electronics and instrumentation where stability and durability are paramount.
High-quality Nickel 200 / 201 Round Bars ready for industrial use.
