Nickel Alloy 201 Foil

Nickel Alloy 201 foil is a vacuum arc remelted and commercially pure nickel alloy with 99. 6% nickel content, and the carbon limit is less than 0. 01% The Nickel 201 alloy is developed for higher temperature applications. The foil has high corrosion resistance, especially in alkaline and even neutral salt solutions, and it is rather famous for its high electrical and thermal conductivity. Nickel 201 is, in a way, low carbon nickel 201. It has better resistance to intergranular carbon embrittlement at high temperatures and is best suited for reducing and neutral media service.
