The material makeup of Nickel 200 wire starts with high-purity nickel, sourced from trusted suppliers to keep impurities low. We’re talking 99.6% nickel, with just a pinch of iron (up to 0.4%), manganese (0.35%), and carbon (0.15%) to fine-tune its strength and workability. These trace elements don’t mess with the wire’s core strength—its ability to resist corrosion and conduct electricity efficiently. We control the carbon content tightly to avoid issues like embrittlement at high temperatures. Our production process involves precise melting and drawing techniques, ensuring the wire is uniform and free of defects. This attention to detail means our Nickel 200 wire performs reliably, whether it’s in a chemical reactor or a battery assembly.

When it comes to grades, Nickel 200 is the star, but we offer it in different forms to suit your needs. The annealed version gives you a tensile strength of about 450 MPa, with great ductility for bending or shaping. Need something tougher? Our hard-drawn Nickel 200 bumps the tensile strength up to 650–800 MPa, perfect for high-stress applications like springs or heavy-duty wiring. While Nickel 201 , a low-carbon cousin, is better for super-hot environments above 315°C, Nickel 200 shines in most industrial uses thanks to its balance of strength and corrosion resistance. Its melting point, sitting at 1435–1446°C, makes it a solid pick for high-temp setups. We also offer custom diameters, from ultra-thin 0.025mm wires for electronics to thicker 10mm strands for structural components. Every batch is tested to meet ASTM standards, so you know you’re getting quality.
Corrosion resistance is where Nickel 200 wire really flexes its muscles. Thanks to its natural oxide layer, it laughs off attacks from alkalis, acids, and even saltwater. We’ve supplied it for chemical plants where tanks handle caustic soda daily, and the wire holds up without pitting or degrading. In marine environments, it resists corrosion from salty spray, extending equipment life significantly. Compared to materials like copper or steel, Nickel 200 lasts longer in reducing environments, saving you replacement costs. Our clients in pharmaceuticals love it for its purity, ensuring no contamination in sensitive processes. We’ve even tailored it for wire mesh used in filtration systems, where it stands up to corrosive slurries without a hitch.
Applications for Nickel 200 wire are incredibly diverse, and we’ve seen it shine across industries. In electronics, it’s a go-to for resistors, thermocouples, and battery connectors, thanks to its 9.6 µΩ·cm electrical resistivity. Aerospace relies on it for lightweight, corrosion-resistant wiring in harsh conditions. Chemical processing plants use it for valves, pumps, and mesh screens that handle aggressive chemicals. In renewable energy, Nickel 200 wire is a key player in solar panels and wind turbines, where it withstands outdoor exposure. We’ve also supplied it for medical devices, like diagnostic tools, due to its biocompatibility. From fine wires for microelectronics to robust strands for industrial machinery, our Nickel 200 wire adapts to whatever you throw at it.
The industry for pure nickel wire, including Nickel 200, is buzzing with growth. Valued at roughly $1.6 billion in 2024, the market is projected to hit $3 billion by 2032, growing at a 7% CAGR.
