VT machining offers CNC Turning for Nickel 200 (UNS N02200 / 2.4066), typically supplied annealed. Commercially pure nickel for caustic environments; gummy and work-hardens.
CNC Turning Notes for Nickel 200
On the lathe Nickel 200 needs chip-breaker inserts and constant chip load to avoid long, stringy swarf.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of Nickel 200 weighs about 0.89 kg.

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.
