N02211 technical guide: nominal chemical composition, mechanical and physical properties, corrosion resistance, welding, product forms and ASTM standards...
Nickel 211 (UNS N02211) is a nickel-manganese alloy (resistance alloy). Nickel + 4–5.5 % Mn for strength & stable resistivity. Pure-nickel corrosion resistance retained. This guide covers its nominal chemical composition, typical mechanical and physical properties, corrosion behaviour, welding, common applications, available product forms and the ASTM standards that apply — everything a specifier needs to evaluate Nickel 211 for a project.
Nickel 211 belongs to the nickel-manganese alloy (resistance alloy) class of materials. It is nickel + 4–5.5 % mn for strength & stable resistivity. It is pure-nickel corrosion resistance retained. It is used for resistance/heating hardware.

211 is a nickel-manganese alloy whose manganese addition raises strength and gives a stable, moderate electrical resistivity. It keeps good pure-nickel corrosion resistance and is used where a combination of strength, conductivity control and caustic resistance is needed.
Welded with ERNi-1 or matching fillers by GTAW/GMAW. The manganese stays in solution; standard nickel welding practice applies.
The grade is supplied to the following common specifications:
| Standard | Product Form / Scope |
|---|---|
| ASTM B160 | Bar & rod |
| ASTM B162 | Plate, sheet & strip |
| ASTM B161 | Seamless pipe & tube |

211 is a nickel-manganese alloy (93 % Ni min, 4–5.5 % Mn) whose manganese raises strength and gives a stable, moderate electrical resistivity, while keeping pure-nickel corrosion resistance.
Annealed: ≈ 480 MPa tensile, ≈ 200 MPa yield, 35 % elongation, 65–80 HRB, with resistivity around 0.20 µΩ·m.
Resistance wire and heating-element hardware, caustic equipment needing extra strength, battery/electrical contacts, cathodic-protection anodes and electronic lead frames.
Yes, with ERNi-1 or matching fillers by GTAW/GMAW; standard nickel welding practice applies.
211 adds 4–5.5 % manganese for higher strength and controlled resistivity; 200 is unalloyed pure nickel. Both resist caustic alkalis well.
