Alloy C2000 (UNS N06200, NiCr23Mo16Cu) is a premium nickel-chromium-molybdenum-copper alloy developed for diversified corrosive working conditions. Blended with multiple alloying elements, it delivers outstanding overall corrosion resistance. Meanwhile, this grade features dependable mechanical strength, ductility and fabrication properties. It is commonly fabricated into pipes, pipe fittings, heat exchangers, pressure vessels and other components, and widely used in chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, environmental protection and other industrial sectors.
Chemical Composition of Alloy C2000
The superior performance of Alloy C2000 (UNS N06200, NiCr23Mo16Cu) benefits from the synergistic effect of its alloying elements. High chromium content forms a dense protective film on the material surface to resist oxidation corrosion. Molybdenum effectively improves resistance to localized corrosion such as pitting and crevice corrosion, while copper further enhances its stability in reducing acid solutions. Thanks to these metallic elements, Alloy C2000 offers strong resistance to both oxidizing and reducing corrosive media, and maintains stable performance in various complex chemical environments.
