Perfecting the purity of nickel products
It has long been known that the parts per million range quantity of trace elements has a tremendous influence on the properties of otherwise pure metals (AE van Arkel, Reine Metalle, Berlin 1939) which is also true for nickel. The norm for the purest nickel grade – Ni 270 – was established decades ago for vacuum tube parts.
Realizing large scale stainless sculptures
Stainless steel is increasingly popular for large scale sculptures and public installations around the world. Companies that specialize in the creation of such pieces are both pioneers in the techniques required and promoters of this versatile material. Sino Sculpture is one such company that was created to produce works almost exclusively in stainless steels.
Sustainable green chemicals through innovative biotechnology
Succinic acid is a dicarboxylic acid with the chemical formula (CH2)2(CO2H)2. The name derives from Latin succinum, meaning amber. Nickel-containing stainless steel is playing an essential role in the production of innovative ‘green’ succinic acid which is highly corrosive to low alloy and carbon steel.
