Nickel 201 is a high-performance alloy used wherever standard fasteners cannot meet the corrosion, temperature, or strength envelope. TorqBolt manufactures the full Nickel 201 fastener range — bolts, nuts, screws, washers, studs, and custom forgings — under one ISO 9001:2015 quality system, with PED 2014/68/EU module-H qualification for pressure-equipment service.
Nickel 201 is specified in oil & gas wellhead components, refinery heat exchangers, petrochemical reactors, power-generation turbines, marine offshore platforms, and pharmaceutical / food-grade processing. Its corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and weldability make it the default for service conditions outside the carbon and standard-stainless envelope.
Nickel 201 fasteners are supplied with EN 10204 3.1 (mill cert) or 3.2 (third-party witnessed) material test reports as standard. Additional certification packages: NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 (sour service), NORSOK M-650 (subsea / topside), API 6A (wellhead), API 20E (subsea bolting), PED 2014/68/EU (pressure equipment). Third-party inspection by TUV, Lloyd's, BV, DNV, SGS, and Intertek arrangeable on order.
Stock items in standard Nickel 201 fastener sizes ship in 1–2 weeks; custom-manufactured items in 4–6 weeks subject to material availability. Diameters M6–M100 and 1/4"–4", lengths 10 mm–3000 mm covered in-house; oversize / non-standard sizes quoted to specification.
Commercially-pure nickel grades (UNS N02200, N02201) are used where the application demands maximum nickel chemistry purity: electrical conductivity, magnetostriction, hot-caustic resistance, or food / pharmaceutical contact. Pure nickel is non-magnetic above its Curie point, weldable without filler in thin sections, and resistant to dry chlorine, fluorine, and hot caustic solutions where stainless steels fail.
Nickel 200 (N02200, >99% Ni, max 0.15% C) is the general-purpose grade for chemical-process and electroplating equipment. Nickel 201 (N02201, max 0.02% C) is the low-carbon variant required for service above 315°C to prevent graphitization that would destroy mechanical properties. Nickel 205 is the magnetic-grade variant. Nickel 270 (N02270) is high-purity electronics grade.
Pure nickel fasteners are supplied per ASTM B160 (rod/bar) and AMS 4730 with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certificates including chemistry, hardness (HV 100-160 annealed, up to 250 cold-worked), and tensile testing. NACE MR0175 sour-service is qualified in the annealed condition. Welding uses pure-nickel filler (ENi-1) with copper-oxide-free flux to prevent weld embrittlement.
