Nickel 201 pure nickel wire is our pride and joy, a material that’s perfect for electronics and beyond. With its 99.0% nickel purity and super-low carbon content, this wire is built to handle high temperatures, resist corrosion, and keep electrical systems humming. It’s not just about wiring—it’s about delivering reliability in the most demanding environments, from circuit boards to aerospace components. We’ve spent years perfecting Nickel 201 wire, ensuring it meets the strictest standards for industries like electronics, renewable energy, and chemical processing. Let’s break down its properties, applications, industry trends, and why our company is the best choice for this versatile material.
The material makeup of Nickel 201 wire is all about purity and performance. We start with 99.0% nickel, keeping carbon below 0.02% to prevent embrittlement at high temperatures. Trace amounts of iron (up to 0.4%) and manganese (0.35%) are added to boost strength without sacrificing conductivity. Our sourcing focuses on ethical, high-quality nickel to ensure consistency. The low carbon content makes Nickel 201 stand out for applications above 315°C, where other materials might crack under pressure. We use advanced melting and drawing processes to produce defect-free wire, whether it’s ultra-fine for microelectronics or thicker for structural uses. This attention to detail ensures our wire performs flawlessly in your projects.

Nickel 201 comes in different forms to fit your needs. The annealed grade, with a tensile strength of 400–450 MPa, offers great ductility for shaping into complex electronic components. For tougher jobs, our hard-drawn Nickel 201 ramps up to 600–750 MPa, ideal for high-strength wiring or springs. Compared to Nickel 200 , which has slightly higher purity (99.6%), Nickel 201 excels in high-temperature environments due to its low carbon content. Its melting point, 1435–1446°C, supports use in hot settings like heating elements. We offer custom diameters, from 0.025mm for precision electronics to 8mm for robust applications, all tested to ASTM standards for quality you can trust.
Corrosion resistance is a hallmark of Nickel 201 wire, and it’s a big reason electronics manufacturers love it. The wire forms a protective oxide layer that stands up to alkalis, acids, and high-temperature oxidation. In electronics, where components face humidity or chemical exposure, this resistance ensures longevity. We’ve supplied Nickel 201 for circuit board connectors exposed to corrosive fumes, and they hold up without degrading. In marine electronics, it resists saltwater pitting, outperforming materials like copper. Our clients in high-purity settings, like semiconductor production, rely on its inertness to avoid contamination. Compared to other metals, Nickel 201’s corrosion resistance saves maintenance costs and extends equipment life.
