Nickel 200 and 201 Supplier in Hyderabad: Pure Nickel for Bulk-Drug Caustic Steps and Electronics

Nickel 200 and 201 Supplier in Hyderabad: Pure Nickel for Bulk-Drug Caustic Steps and Electronics

Many bulk-drug and intermediate routes in Hyderabad include a caustic step: alkaline hydrolysis, caustic fusion or caustic scrubbing. Hot sodium or potassium hydroxide cracks many common alloys, while pure nickel handles it well. Ganesh Metals supplies Nickel 200 and low-carbon Nickel 201 to plants and equipment builders in Jeedimetla, IDA Bollaram, Patancheru, Pashamylaram and Genome Valley. We also supply electronics and electrical makers around Cherlapally and the Fab City area. We have been a high-nickel alloy stockist, supplier and processor in Mumbai since 1992.

We provide direct door delivery to your company in Hyderabad. Pure nickel is cut, slit and packed at our Mumbai shop and sent to your plant after we agree the dispatch plan. Tell us the caustic or alkali concentration, the temperature and whether the vessel is a reactor, a scrubber or a heating coil, and we will help you choose between 200 and 201.

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.

Why 201 for hot duty: above about 315 °C, the higher carbon in Nickel 200 can turn into graphite at grain boundaries and weaken the metal. Nickel 201 holds carbon to 0.02% max to avoid this, so it is chosen for hot caustic fusion pots and high-temperature coils.

Where nickel is not enough: for hydrofluoric acid or mixed caustic and chloride steps, Monel 400 or Hastelloy C276 may suit better. Send the full route and we will advise.

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

Reactor and vessel builders for Hyderabad's pharma belt buy Nickel 201 plate for shells, dished ends and linings, plus seamless tube and pipe for heating coils and transfer lines. Plant maintenance teams buy small sheet pieces and pipe lengths. Electronics makers buy Nickel 200 strip and wire. We cut plate to your layout, punch circles, slit strip and supply round bar, flanges and fittings, and every piece keeps its heat number. Sizes are on request. Use the metal weight calculator to estimate weights.

How to order Nickel 200 or 201 for Hyderabad

1. Call +91 22 6636 2372, WhatsApp +91 99872 73700 or email sales@ganeshmetals.com with the grade (200 or 201), form, thickness, OD and wall or strip width, quantity and the caustic concentration and temperature if you want us to check the grade.

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

Where pure nickel is used in Hyderabad

Bulk-drug plants in Jeedimetla and IDA Bollaram: Nickel 201 for caustic hydrolysis reactors, liners and heating coils.

API and intermediate units in Patancheru and Pashamylaram: Nickel 200 and 201 pipe and plate for caustic scrubbers, alkaline wash vessels and transfer lines.

Life-science and R&D facilities in Genome Valley: Nickel 200 sheet and tube for pilot-plant reactors and high-purity alkaline duty.

Electronics and electrical makers in Cherlapally and the Fab City area: Nickel 200 strip and wire for leads, tabs, terminals and shielding.

Reactor and process-equipment fabricators in Balanagar and Kukatpally: Nickel 201 plate and tube for vessels built for Hyderabad's pharma plants.

Why Hyderabad 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.

The carbon value on the MTC is read before dispatch, because 200 and 201 cannot be told apart by eye.

Plate is cut to shell and dished-end layouts, so a reactor builder is not left with large off-cuts of a costly metal.

Sheet is packed to protect the soft nickel surface, which matters for high-purity product-contact parts.

FAQs — Hyderabad

Do you supply Nickel 200 and 201 to Hyderabad?

Yes. We send Nickel 200 and 201 plate, sheet, strip, bar and pipe to Jeedimetla, IDA Bollaram, Patancheru, Pashamylaram, Genome Valley and Cherlapally from our Mumbai stock. We provide direct door delivery to your company in Hyderabad.

How long does delivery to Hyderabad take?

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

Is pure nickel suitable for a caustic fusion step in an API route?

Nickel 201 is widely used for hot caustic soda and caustic potash, including fusion. Oxidising salts, sulphur compounds or chlorides in the melt can change that, so send the full composition and temperature and we will help you check.

Can I buy a small Nickel 201 sheet for a reactor repair?

Yes. We cut sheet and plate to your patch or liner size, and the heat number is marked on the piece so it matches the MTC.

Will pure nickel come with a 3.1 certificate for your QA file?

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.
