Nickel Rod
Nickel rod and bar for corrosion-resistant, conductive, and high-purity industrial components.
Nickel rod supply is reviewed around grade, diameter, length, surface finish, machining allowance, and testing requirements. Nickel 200 and Nickel 201 are common options for engineered industrial parts.
Sourcing data for nickel rod.
| Typical forms | Round rod, bar, cut length, machined blank |
|---|---|
| Diameter range | 3-200 mm typical request range |
| Length | Custom length by project |
| Common grades | Nickel 200, Nickel 201, UNS N02200, UNS N02201 |
| Reference standards | ASTM B160 / project specification |
| Surface | Black, peeled, polished, or ground |
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.
Diameter, length, and tolerance
State finished diameter, length, straightness, quantity, dimensional tolerances, and whether supply is full length, cut pieces, or machining blanks.
Condition and surface
Define annealed, cold-worked, or project condition together with black, peeled, turned, polished, or ground surface and machining allowance.
Testing and documents
Confirm the product standard, certificate type, heat or lot traceability, mechanical testing, additional testing when required, marking, and packing.
Match rod & bar 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 bars, cut lengths, or blanks when required
- Chemical and mechanical results checked against the specified product standard when required
- Diameter, length, straightness, surface, tolerance, and machining-allowance checks agreed for the order
- Certificate type, additional testing, marking, end protection, and packing confirmed before order release
