Nickel 200 Forged rings are seamless rolled or open-die forged components used as pressure-vessel flanges, valve bodies, hub-mount blanks, and shaft-end retention rings. TorqBolt supplies Nickel 200 Forged rings per ASTM A182 (forged flange standard), ASTM A266/A668 (carbon ring), and EN 10222 (pressure-purpose forging), in OD sizes from 50 mm up to 3000 mm.
Rings are produced via either seamless ring rolling (radial-axial mill, for OD > 200 mm) or open-die hammer forging (for short-run / oversize parts). Reduction ratio ≥ 4:1 from billet to final ring is enforced for grain-flow continuity. Heat treatment is per the alloy spec — solution-anneal + quench + age for precipitation-hardening alloys; quench & temper for low-alloy steels.
Nickel 200 Forged rings are supplied to ASTM A788 dimensional tolerances by default: OD ±1.5 mm or ±1% (whichever is larger), ID ±1.5 mm, height ±0.8 mm. Tighter tolerances (machined finish, ±0.1 mm) available for direct-mount applications. Out-of-roundness controlled to 1.5 mm; concentricity 0.2 mm/100 mm.
Each ring lot ships with full mechanical certification: tensile (ASTM E8), Charpy impact (ASTM E23) at the application's MDMT, hardness traverse, and grain size per ASTM E112. For Nickel 200 Forged ring stock destined for hydrogen / sour service, additional HIC testing (NACE TM0284) and SSC testing (NACE TM0177) per the customer's spec.
Nickel 200 Forged rings ship rough-machined or finish-machined per drawing. Standard NDT: 100 % UT (ASTM A388 reference) and surface MT/PT to ASTM E709 / E165. Radiography on request. Each ring is hard-stamped with heat number, lot, and certification reference for traceability through the dispatch chain.
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.
