BÖHLER L200 is a technically pure nickel alloy with at least 99% nickel and a low carbon content. This alloy combination suppresses harmful precipitation, e.g. of graphite, and enables application temperatures of over 300°C to around 450°C. The material offers excellent ductility and corrosion resistance, in particular resistance in many alkaline and acidic solutions, e.g. cooling brines, soaps, fatty acids, fruit acids, phenol, caustic soda and neutral salt solutions, dry chlorine gas and hydrogen chloride, bromine and fluorine (CFC production) and other reducing and oxidising media. The main areas of application for the BÖHLER L200 alloy are plant and tank construction in the food, chemical and petrochemical industries, the transport of chemical products and electrical and electronic components, such as electrode contacts in batteries, current arresters in alkaline fuel cells and electrodes for hydrogen production by electrolysis.

BÖHLER P802SA is an iron-36% nickel alloy with low thermal expansion for the manufacture of moulds for aircraft construction and for the electronics industry, for measuring instruments (e.g. rulers, scales), temperature measuring instruments and temperature-dependent controls, thermostats, thermobimetals whose individual layers should have the greatest possible difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion, compensation elements, aperture masks for picture tubes, glass-metal transitions in which the expansion of the alloy must correspond to that of glass and ceramic materials, membrane tanks, chip base plates, laser housings, waveguides and seismographic measuring instruments. The minimum coefficient of thermal expansion of BÖHLER P802SA is in the range of 0 to 40°C. Above the break point at about 200°C, the coefficient of expansion increases sharply and reaches the values usual for austenitic materials at temperatures above 300°C.

BÖHLER P810 is a Fe-Ni-Co alloy with a low and stable coefficient of thermal expansion in the temperature range from -100 to +450°C.Some technical ceramics (e.g. aluminium oxide, aluminium nitride, borosilicate glasses and semiconductor materials) show coefficients of thermal expansion of the same order of magnitude. The alloy is therefore used for metal-glass seals of electronic components, material transitions in vacuum chambers, X-ray tubes, transistor sockets and similar. In the field of microelectronics and microsystems technology, BÖHLER P810 is used as a housing material or as a submount, i.e. an intermediate layer between the actual carrier material and material with a usually significantly higher coefficient of expansion, and serves as a compensating element that absorbs or reduces the thermomechanical stresses caused by the different coefficients of thermal expansion of other materials.
