| These Nickel 200 lighting components are 0.330 long, with a .060 OD and a .025 hole. |
Nickel and nickel alloys, like the stainless steels, offer a wide range of corrosion resistance. However, nickel can accommodate larger amounts of alloying elements, chiefly chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten. Therefore, nickel-base alloys, in general, can be used in more severe environments than the stainless steels. Nickel and nickel alloys are important because of their ability to withstand a wide variety of severe operating conditions involving corrosive environments, high temperatures, high stresses, and combinations of these factors.
