Existence of Nickel Metal in the Industries

Nickel metal is one of the ferromagnetic elements at the normal temperatures. This partly magnetic material is a rare earth magnetic element. Nickel is mainly important in the present time for fabrication of alloys such that more than 50% alloy production in the world is made with nickel. Other popular alloys known as superalloys are also primarily made of Nickel for chemical purposes. Nickel Wire has several uses in the prime chemical production applications. The percentage of nickel used in the global applications is : 46% in manufacturing nickel steel, 34% in manufacturing nonferric alloys and superalloys, 14% in electroplating and rest 6% other applications.

Applications of Nickel:

Nickel has vital scope in various certain and popular corporate and consumer items like batteries, magnets, microphones and super alloys. Utilized in electroplating and glass. Nickel is basically an alloy metal and widely used in preparing nickel steel and cast iron with several varieties.

Nickel brass and bronze, copper alloy, chromium, aluminum, silver, gold which manufacture the inconel, incoloy and monel alloys.

Advantages of Nickel

Nickel is highly resistant to corrosion which is why it has been traditionally used for silver plating. Earlier, it was also used in various nations as coin metal though later it has been replaced by stainless steel which is more economical.

Nickel is a super alloying element for various expensive metals and used as the fire assay, like a collector of platinum group elements. It is highly competent for complete assortment of entire platinum group elements from their ores and additionally partial assortment of gold metal. The nickel mines with large capacity are also involved in the platinum elements extraction mainly palladium and platinum for instance in Canada.

Nickel Mesh is utilized in the gas diffusion electrodes for group 2 elements in the periodic table.

Nickel alloy is widely used in the form of catalyst in the hydrogen production reactions. For example Raney Nickel is nickel aluminum alloy is a popular catalyst and it is called as raney type catalyst.

As Nickel contains the magnetic properties, its length changes when it is placed in the magnetic field. When the length changes in the negative value, it is called negative magnetostriction.

Nickel is utilized in the binder form in the tough metal houses where it is consumed in 6% to 12%. It has capability to produce magnetic character in the hard metals and imparts corrosion protection features in them. But the degree of hardness decreases as compare to other metals made of cobalt binder. So, the Nickel Wire has its own significance in the industrial houses even in the domestic applications too.
