Hot Worked Nickel Alloy 200
Hot worked nickel 200 is nickel 200 in the hot worked condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare hot worked nickel 200 to: wrought nickels (top), all nickel alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
