Nickel Information

What is Nickel?
Nickel is the 5th most common element on earth.
It is a naturally occurring element that exists mainly in the form of sulphide, oxide, and silicate minerals. Nickel is an extremely important commercial element, playing a key role in global industrial development and outpacing almost all other industrial metals.
The factors which make nickel and its alloys valuable commodities include strength, corrosion resistance, high ductility, good thermal and electric conductivity, magnetic characteristics and catalytic properties.
Ferronickel is an alloy containing nickel and iron - approximately 35% nickel and 65% iron.
Its uses;
The use of nickel is dominated by the production of ferronickel for stainless steel (66%).
However, it is also used in the production of non-ferrous alloys (12%), alloy steels (5%), plating (7%), foundry (3%) and batteries (2%).
Ferronickel is primarily used in the manufacture of Austenitic stainless steels (known as 200 and 300 series SS).
These are non-magnetic and contain between 8.5%-25% nickel, enhancing their corrosion resistance.
They are the most widely used group of stainless steels, accounting for between 70%-75% of global stainless output.
