Nickel Chips (Ni, Purity: 99.9%, APS: 1-5mm)

Nickel Chips

Nickel chips are versatile materials used across a wide range of industrial, technological, and scientific applications due to nickel’s unique properties, including its resistance to corrosion, excellent strength, and catalytic abilities.

 Stainless Steel Production

Alloying Agent: Ni is a key component in stainless steel and other high-performance alloys. Nickel chips are used in the production of stainless steel, where they enhance the steel’s corrosion resistance, strength, and toughness. This makes the steel suitable for applications in harsh environments, such as in construction, automotive parts, and kitchen appliances.

Nickel Alloys: Nickel chips are also used to produce various nickel-based alloys, such as Inconel and Monel, which are used in extreme environments due to their high temperature and corrosion resistance.

 Battery Manufacturing

Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) Batteries: Nickel chips are used in the production of nickel-cadmium batteries, which are used in applications requiring reliable and durable power sources, such as in emergency lighting and rechargeable tools.

Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries: Nickel is also a component in nickel-metal hydride batteries, which are used in a variety of applications, including hybrid vehicles and consumer electronics. NiMH batteries offer higher energy densities and are more environmentally friendly compared to NiCd batteries.

 Electronics and Electrical Components

Conductors and Contacts: Nickel chips are used in the production of electrical contacts and connectors due to nickel’s excellent electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. Nickel plating is also used to protect electrical components and improve their performance.

Magnetic Materials: Nickel is used in the production of various magnetic materials, including those used in transformers, inductors, and magnetic recording media.

Catalysis

Chemical Reactions: Nickel chips are employed as catalysts or catalyst supports in various chemical processes, including hydrogenation reactions, petroleum refining, and the production of chemicals like methanol and ammonia.

Environmental Catalysis: Nickel-based catalysts are used in environmental catalysis for processes such as the removal of pollutants from exhaust gases and other industrial emissions.
