Nickel Plate
Nickel plate and sheet for conductive, corrosion-resistant, and chemical processing applications.
Nickel plate is selected where corrosion resistance, conductivity, weldability, and clean fabrication matter. Supply can be reviewed by grade, thickness, size, condition, surface, tolerance, and required inspection documents.
Sourcing data for nickel plate.
| Typical forms | Plate, sheet, strip, cut piece, machined blank |
|---|---|
| Thickness range | Custom thickness by project review |
| Size range | Cut-to-size supply based on drawing or requirement |
| Common grades | Nickel 200, Nickel 201, UNS N02200, UNS N02201 |
| Reference standards | ASTM B162 / project specification |
| Condition | Annealed, hard, or project-defined temper |
Select the grade for the service conditions.
Use these as selection starting points. Final choice depends on the drawing, governing specification, service conditions, and qualification requirements.
| Grade | Typical selection logic | Confirm before quotation |
|---|---|---|
| Nickel 200 / UNS N02200 | Commercially pure wrought nickel for conductive and corrosion-resistant industrial parts. | Operating temperature, product form, condition, dimensions, and governing specification. |
| Nickel 201 / UNS N02201 | Low-carbon nickel commonly considered where elevated-temperature carbon control is important. | Service temperature, fabrication route, condition, testing, and end-use requirements. |
Three items to prevent specification gaps.
Confirm dimensions together with grade, condition, tolerances, quantity, and inspection scope.
Dimensions and tolerance
State finished thickness, width, length, quantity, dimensional tolerance, flatness expectation, and whether the order is full plate, rectangular blanks, or drawing-based parts.
Condition and surface
Specify annealed or other required condition, mill or project-defined surface, edge condition, and restrictions related to forming, welding, machining, or appearance.
Inspection and documents
Specify the governing standard, certificate type, heat or lot traceability, dimensional records, testing scope, third-party inspection, marking, and packing.
Match plate & sheet supply to the application.
End use determines the grade, condition, dimensional control, surface preparation, testing, traceability, and downstream fabrication route.
Chemical processing
Confirm process media, concentration, temperature, pressure, fabrication route, and corrosion-design basis before selecting the nickel grade and condition.
Review application detailsHydrogen and electrochemical systems
Conductivity, corrosion exposure, cleanliness, surface condition, joining method, and component geometry determine the supply requirements.
Review application detailsSemiconductor and high-purity equipment
Surface condition, cleanliness, dimensional control, traceability, and contamination-sensitive handling should be defined with the end use.
Review application detailsMarine and industrial assemblies
Confirm environmental exposure, mechanical load, fabrication route, dimensional tolerances, and inspection requirements for the finished assembly.
Review application detailsDefine inspection and documentation before production.
Align document requirements with the production lot, inspection plan, marking, and final records.
- Material identity and heat or lot traceability aligned with the delivered plates, sheets, or blanks when required
- Chemical and mechanical results checked against the specified product standard when required
- Thickness, width, length, flatness, surface, and edge checks agreed for the order
- Certificate type, additional testing, witness points, marking, and packing confirmed before order release
Frequently asked questions about nickel plate.
What is the difference between Nickel 200 and Nickel 201?
Nickel 200 is used for higher-temperature service; Nickel 201 has lower carbon to resist graphitization above about 315 C.
Which standard covers nickel plate and sheet?
Nickel plate and sheet are supplied to ASTM B162, with UNS N02200 (Nickel 200) and UNS N02201 (Nickel 201).
What applications use nickel plate?
Chemical processing, battery and electrochemical components, heat-resistant fixtures, and custom machined blanks.
Custom processing around the drawing.
Send target dimensions, tolerances, surface, package format, and inspection requirements so the production route can be reviewed before quotation.
Send enough detail for a technical review.
