Overview
At 0.05 mm, a thin strip lives or dies by its tolerance — a few microns of drift changes the whole coil. Our 0.05mm nickel strip at 5 mm width is produced from Ni200/Ni201 pure nickel (≥99.2%/≥99.0% Ni) with low electrical resistivity of 0.096 μΩ·m, in coils or cut lengths per drawing. Start with a free N6/Ni200 sample, confirm the strip on your line, then scale — 5 kg MOQ, 3-7 day delivery for small lots, 7-15 days for standard production.
Dimensions & Tolerances
Strip is produced at 0.05 mm thickness * 5 mm width as specified — the thin end of the catalog range (0.05-0.5 mm * 5-200 mm). Lengths, coil weights and tolerances are confirmed against the drawing before production and locked in the batch record.
Key Strengths
- Thin-gauge precision — 0.05 mm thickness held to drawing tolerance.
- Ni200/Ni201 purity — ≥99.2%/≥99.0% Ni with resistivity of 0.096 μΩ·m (20 °C).
- Sample first, low MOQ — N6/Ni200 free samples of 0.5 kg; 5 kg MOQ.
- Custom lengths and widths — coils or cut lengths per drawing.
- Documented supply — EN 10204 3.1 MTC, ISO 9001 certified; 3-7 days small lots, 7-15 days standard.
Technical Deep Dive
Tolerance at the Thin End of the Range
At 0.05 mm there is nowhere for tolerance drift to hide: a small variation changes flexibility, surface behaviour and welding response. Thickness is gauged per batch against the drawing, so the coil that arrives matches the coil that qualified the line.
What 0.05 mm Strip Is Used For
Thin nickel strip serves applications that need flexibility with conductivity — shims and gaskets, electrical contacts, sensing elements and precision components — where the thin cross-section has to stay dimensionally stable.
Rolling and Finishing Thin Strip
Thin strip is rolled from nickel of verified composition, then annealed and finished with a clean, burr-free surface. Annealing restores the soft condition that keeps 0.05 mm strip workable in downstream forming.

Quality Assurance
Quality control starts at the melt: raw material composition is verified against UNS N02200/N02201 before rolling, then every batch is gauged for thickness, width and surface condition, and checked for burr against the drawing. Batch records link each order back to the melt, and EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates ship with every consignment.
Applicable Standards
- ASTM B162 — nickel and nickel alloy plate, sheet and strip
- GB/T 2072-2020 — nickel and nickel alloy strip
- EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates accompany shipments
References
Material data on this page follows ASTM B162 and GB/T 2072-2020; corrosion and application guidance references nickel industry literature (Nickel Institute; ASM Specialty Handbook: Nickel, Cobalt, and Their Alloys). Batch-level composition and geometry are verified against mill test certificates (EN 10204 3.1) and in-house inspection records.
Packaging & Delivery
Thin strip is wound on coils or supplied in cut lengths, edge-protected and moisture-wrapped to avoid kinking, packed in cartons and export wooden cases. Documentation — mill test certificates, batch records and packing lists — accompanies every order. Small lots ship in 3-7 days; standard production in 7-15 days from confirmed drawing.

FAQ
Is 0.05 mm the thinnest strip you produce?
0.05 mm is the thin end of the catalog strip range (0.05-0.5 mm); thicknesses within this range are produced per drawing.
Can you supply 5 mm width in longer coils?
Yes. Coils or cut lengths are supplied per drawing, with length and coil weight confirmed before production.
Which grades are available?
Ni200 (≥99.2% Ni) and Ni201 (≥99.0% Ni, low carbon); grade selection is confirmed against the application.
Can I get a sample coil?
Yes. N6/Ni200 samples of 0.5 kg are free; N4/Ni201 samples are charged and refunded on a first order of 50 kg or more.
How is thin strip packaged to avoid damage?
Coils are wound with edge protection and moisture wrap to prevent kinking, then packed in cartons and export wooden cases.
