VT machining offers CNC Milling for Nickel 200 (UNS N02200 / 2.4066), typically supplied annealed. Commercially pure nickel for caustic environments; gummy and work-hardens.
CNC Milling Notes for Nickel 200
We use high-efficiency toolpaths with constant engagement on Nickel 200 to keep cutting temperature and tool wear under control.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of Nickel 200 weighs about 0.89 kg.

What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Milling Nickel 200?
CNC Milling prototypes for Nickel 200 can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
What is CNC Milling Nickel 200 and how is it done?
CNC Milling Nickel 200 refers to multi-axis milling cutters remove material to produce prismatic features, pockets, slots and contoured 3D surfaces. Applied to Nickel 200 — corrosion and heat resistant — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Does CNC Milling Nickel 200 require dedicated tooling?
Most Nickel 200 machining work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Milling Nickel 200?
Achievable tolerances for Nickel 200 machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Milling holds positional and dimensional tolerances to around ±0.01 mm, tighter with precision setups. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Why is Nickel 200 a good choice for CNC Milling?
Nickel 200 is corrosion and heat resistant, which makes it well suited to CNC Milling. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished Nickel 200 machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
