Nickel 201, which is a commercially pure Nickel (typically 99.6% Nickel), is essentially the same as Nickel 200, but has a lower Carbon content to prevent corrosion of intergranular carbon at temperatures exceeding 315 ° C (600 ° F). Low carbon content also reduces hardness. Nickel 201, such as Nickel 200 (pure nickel), is also used in the chemical industry primarily because its corrosion resistance is very high, and it is also used extensively in caustic production because its caustic resistance is the highest known metal. Recently, due to its high electrical conductivity, it is also used in batteries and batteries.

The nickel 201 alloy is a commercially pure nickel having properties similar to the nickel 200 alloy but with a lower carbon content to prevent brittleness with non-granular carbon at high temperatures. It is resistant to acids and alkalis and dry gases at room temperature. It is also resistant to mineral acids depending on the temperature and concentration of the solution.
