UNS N06210 Nickel Alloy

N06210 nickel is a nickel alloy formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the annealed condition.

This material is well established: the Further Reading section below cites a number of published standards, and that list is not necessarily exhaustive.

It has the highest embodied energy among wrought nickels. In addition, it has a moderately high base cost and a moderately high ductility.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare N06210 nickel to: wrought nickels (top), all nickel alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
