Nickel 200 and 201 Supplier in Chennai: Pure Nickel for Caustic Plants and Battery Lines

Nickel 200 and 201 Supplier in Chennai: Pure Nickel for Caustic Plants and Battery Lines

Pure nickel is the material of choice wherever hot caustic soda is handled, and North Chennai's chemical belt around Manali, Ennore and Gummidipoondi has plenty of that duty. Ganesh Metals supplies Nickel 200 and low-carbon Nickel 201 as plate, sheet, thin strip, coils, circles, round bar and pipe. The same strip also goes to battery-pack and electronics makers along the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam corridor. We have been a high-nickel alloy stockist, supplier and processor in Mumbai since 1992, and the mill's original EN 10204 3.1 certificate goes with every lot.

We provide direct door delivery to your company in Chennai. Nickel 200 and 201 are cut, slit and packed at our Mumbai shop and sent to Manali, Ennore, Gummidipoondi, Ambattur, Sriperumbudur or Oragadam after we agree the dispatch plan. Tell us the caustic strength and temperature, or the strip width and thickness for battery work, and we will confirm the grade.

Nickel 200 and 201 grades and specifications

Nickel 200 (UNS N02200, W.Nr 2.4066) and Nickel 201 (UNS N02201, W.Nr 2.4068): plate, sheet and strip ASTM B162 / ASME SB162, bar ASTM B160, seamless pipe and tube ASTM B161, welded pipe ASTM B725, welded tube ASTM B730.

Nickel fittings: ASTM B366 (WPN for 200, WPNL for 201). Forgings and flanges: ASTM B564 / ASME SB564.

Equivalents: Nickel 200 W.Nr 2.4066 · Ni 99.2. Nickel 201 W.Nr 2.4068 · LC-Ni 99. Both are sold under the common name pure nickel or commercially pure nickel.

Nickel 201 is the grade for service above about 315 °C. In Nickel 200 at those temperatures, the extra carbon can come out as graphite at grain boundaries and make the metal brittle. Caustic evaporators that run hot are therefore usually built in 201.

Also from the same stock: Monel 400 for wet chlorine and hydrofluoric duty and Inconel 600 where caustic service is combined with higher temperature or strength.

Typical chemistry: Nickel 200 and 201 are both 99.0% Ni minimum. Carbon is the difference: 0.15% max in Nickel 200 and 0.02% max in Nickel 201. Density about 8.89 g/cm³.

Annealed minimums (ASTM B162 hot-rolled plate): Nickel 200 tensile 380 MPa, yield 100 MPa, elongation 40%. Nickel 201 tensile 345 MPa, yield 80 MPa, elongation 40%. The low yield is what makes pure nickel so easy to form and roll into shells.

Nickel forms we supply

Caustic plants mostly buy Nickel 201 plate for evaporator shells and tube sheets and seamless tube for heating bundles, while maintenance teams ask for small sheet pieces for repairs. Battery and electronics units buy thin Nickel 200 or 201 strip slit to tab and busbar widths. We also punch circles, cut round bar to length and supply welded pipe, flanges and fittings. Every piece and every coil keeps its heat number. Sizes are on request. Check weights with the metal weight calculator.

How to order Nickel 200 or 201 for Chennai

1. Call +91 22 6636 2372, WhatsApp +91 99872 73700 or email sales@ganeshmetals.com with the grade (200 or 201), form, thickness, width or diameter, quantity and, for strip, the coil or cut-length format you need.

3. You confirm the order and the transporter. We cut, mark, pack, dispatch and share the documents.

Where pure nickel is used in Chennai

Chlor-alkali and caustic soda units in the Manali and Ennore belt: Nickel 201 for evaporators, concentrators, caustic coolers and storage parts.

Chemical and fibre plants that handle hot alkaline liquor around Gummidipoondi: Nickel 200 and 201 pipe and plate for transfer lines, heaters and vessel linings.

Battery-pack and EV electronics lines in Sriperumbudur and Oragadam: thin Nickel 200 and 201 strip for cell tabs, connectors and busbars.

Electronics and electrical makers in Guindy and Ambattur: nickel strip and wire for leads, terminals and shielding parts.

Food and pharma equipment fabricators around Ambattur: Nickel 200 sheet for alkaline cleaning and product-contact parts where contamination must be avoided.

Why Chennai buyers choose Ganesh Metals for Nickel 200 and 201

High-nickel alloy stockist, supplier and processor in Mumbai since 1992.

The mill's original EN 10204 3.1 test certificate is passed on with every supply, with heat-number traceability.

ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certified.

Nickel 200 and 201 look identical, so we read the carbon value on the MTC and confirm the grade with PMI before dispatch.

Strip is slit to your width, which saves a battery line from buying and re-slitting wide coil.

Pure nickel is soft and marks easily, so sheet and strip are packed to protect the surface.

FAQs — Chennai

Do you supply Nickel 200 and 201 to Chennai?

Yes. We send Nickel 200 and 201 plate, sheet, strip, bar and pipe to Manali, Ennore, Gummidipoondi, Ambattur, Sriperumbudur and Oragadam from our Mumbai stock. We provide direct door delivery to your company in Chennai.

How long does delivery to Chennai take?

That depends on the transporter and route. We confirm the dispatch plan with you when the order is placed.

Nickel 200 or Nickel 201 for a caustic soda evaporator?

If the metal temperature can go above about 315 °C, choose Nickel 201, because its low carbon avoids graphite embrittlement. Below that, Nickel 200 is also used. Most caustic evaporators and concentrators are specified in 201. Send the caustic strength and design temperature and we will confirm.

Can you slit Nickel 201 strip for battery tabs?

Yes. Tell us the thickness, width and quantity and whether you need coil or cut lengths. Every coil keeps its heat number and comes with the mill's 3.1 certificate.

Will pure nickel come with a 3.1 certificate showing carbon content?

Yes. Every supply comes with the mill's original EN 10204 3.1 test certificate, and heat numbers are marked on each piece. Call +91 22 6636 2372 or WhatsApp +91 99872 73700 to discuss your use.
