VT machining offers CNC Drilling for Nickel 201 (UNS N02201 / 2.4068), typically supplied annealed. Low-carbon Nickel 200 for service above 315 °C.
CNC Drilling Notes for Nickel 201
Drilling Nickel 201 uses through-coolant carbide drills and peck cycles, because the chip tends to weld and the hole wall work-hardens if the drill dwells.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of Nickel 201 weighs about 0.89 kg.
