Annealed tensile strength ≥380MPa, elongation ≥45%, cold-worked strength up to 900MPa. Good low-temperature toughness, impact energy ≥100J at -196℃, suitable for cryogenic environments.

Easy to process and weld

It has good plasticity and can be formed by both hot and cold working. It is also easy to weld, suitable for both argon arc welding and plasma welding.

Shaping of Nickel Tube and Pipe

Hot piercing method

The tube blank is heated to a high temperature and then pierced into a hollow tube (raw tube) on a skew rolling piercing mill (such as the Mannesmann piercing mill).

Hot extrusion

The tube blank and die are heated, and the metal is extruded through the die under high pressure to form a tube blank. This method has high precision and is suitable for difficult-to-deform alloys or thick-walled tubes, but the cost is relatively high.

Cold drawing/cold rolling

The rough tube (or extruded tube blank) obtained by piercing is subjected to multiple cold drawing or cold rolling processes to gradually thin the tube wall and reduce the diameter to close to the finished size, while improving the microstructure and properties.

FAQ

1. Q: What is the difference between pure nickel tubes and nickel alloy tubes?

A: The core difference between pure nickel tubing and nickel alloy tubing lies in their composition and performance: pure nickel tubing has a high nickel content (≥99%), making it corrosion-resistant but with lower strength; nickel alloy tubing, through the addition of elements such as chromium and molybdenum, significantly improves its strength and temperature resistance, but at a higher cost. When selecting tubing, pure nickel tubing is suitable for highly corrosive environments, while nickel alloy tubing is used in high-temperature and high-pressure scenarios.

2. Q:What is the Application scenarios of Pure Nickel Tube and Pipe?

A:Pure nickel tubes are suitable for manufacturing corrosion-resistant parts in industries such as chemical, electronic communications, and power, such as alkali evaporation equipment and electrode materials.

3. Q: What purity level can a pure nickel tube achieve?

A: Pure nickel tubes typically have a purity of over 99%, with some high-purity products reaching over 99.6%. For example, Ni201 pure nickel tubes have a nickel content of no less than 99.0%, and some even exceed 99.6%; Nickel 200 also has a nickel content of ≥99.0%. This high purity characteristic makes them widely used in chemical, electronics, aerospace, and other fields.
