Published typical values for Nickel 200. Other grades in the family differ — the certificate supplied with your order carries the actual heat-lot figures.
Gummy and work-hardening at once. Sharp tools, positive rake, and a deliberate depth of cut that stays under the hardened skin from the previous pass.
Machining Nickel 200 with CNC Turning
Nickel 200 behaves predictably under CNC Turning once parameters are dialled in: machinability is moderate; work-hardens, sharp tooling required, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of Nickel 200 run consistently from one batch to the next.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC Turning Nickel 200
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Outside diameter | ±0.05 mm | ±0.005 mm |
| Bore diameter | H9 | H6 |
| Length / shoulder position | ±0.10 mm | ±0.020 mm |
| Concentricity OD to ID | 0.05 mm TIR | 0.010 mm TIR |
| Roundness | 0.02 mm | 0.005 mm |
| Thread class | 6g / 2A | 4h / 3A |
| Surface finish, as turned | Ra 1.6 µm | Ra 0.4 µm |
Standard is what a normal quotation assumes. Precision is available on nominated features and is priced separately, because it needs extra setups, in-process gauging and CMM verification. Call out only the features that need it — blanket-tightening a drawing is the single most common reason a quote comes back expensive.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished Nickel 200 parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
CNC Turning Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned Nickel 200 holds diameter tolerances to about ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm and good roundness. Turned finishes of Ra 0.4–0.8 µm are achievable with finishing passes and sharp tooling.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
Design Tips for CNC Turning Nickel 200
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help Nickel 200 turned parts stay concentric and economical. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
CNC Turning Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every Nickel 200 part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Why Nickel 200?
Nickel 200 is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is corrosion and heat resistant. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
Applications of CNC Turning Nickel 200
Customers order CNC Turning Nickel 200 components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.
How to Order CNC Turning Nickel 200
Getting a quote is simple. Share your model, the material grade, your quantity and target tolerances. You receive a clear quotation with lead time and honest manufacturability feedback.
Finishing Options for Nickel 200

What We Need to Quote CNC Turning Nickel 200
- GeometrySTEP or IGES for the 3D model, plus a PDF drawing if you have tolerance callouts. A dimensioned sketch is enough to start.
- MaterialThe exact Nickel 200 grade and condition — temper, heat-treat state or hardness. If you are not sure, tell us the function and we will suggest one.
- QuantityPrototype count and the expected annual volume. Both change how the part is made and therefore what it costs.
- TolerancesWhich features are critical. Everything else runs to our standard tolerance, which is what keeps the price sensible.
- FinishSurface treatment, cosmetic requirements, and any faces that must be masked.
- DocumentsWhether you need a material certificate, dimensional report, FAIR or PPAP with the shipment.
Missing something from the list is not a problem — send what you have. We will come back with the specific questions rather than a generic form.

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
Does CNC Turning Nickel 200 require dedicated tooling?
Most Nickel 200 turning work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Turning Nickel 200?
CNC Turning 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.
Why is Nickel 200 a good choice for CNC Turning?
Nickel 200 is corrosion and heat resistant, which makes it well suited to CNC Turning. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished Nickel 200 turning part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Turning Nickel 200?
Achievable tolerances for Nickel 200 turning depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Turning holds diameter tolerances to around ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Turning Nickel 200?
Turned Nickel 200 parts are produced from bar or chuck stock across a wide diameter range.
