Nickel based alloys are chosen because of the corrosion resistance, heat resistance/high and low temperature properties.
Applications for nickel alloys
Nickel alloys are used in a variety of industries, such as: aircraft gas turbines, steam turbine power plants, nuclear power systems and the chemical- and petrochemical industries. Overall, nickel alloys offer a combination of strength, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and versatility that makes them valuable in demanding industrial applications. Their properties make them suitable for environments where other materials may fail, allowing for improved performance, durability, and reliability.

After a prolonged slump, raw material prices are on the rise again. End users will therefore be looking to save costs by specifying lower-alloy grades, including duplex. Thanks partly to advances in fabrication, duplex is being used in more and more products and applications, over a wide range of industries.
Universal Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc.’s chairman, president and CEO, Dennis M. Oates, has been named the Stainless Steel Executive of 2018 at the 17th Annual Stainless & Special Steel Conference in Helsinki, Finland, which took place on September 18th to 20th.
Langley Alloys is well on the road to recovery, thanks to a multi-million pound investment over the last two years. Bosses at the Wolstanton business have spent more than £ 2M on new equipment and stock, as well as the opening of a second facility in Grove Road, Fenton.
When high-quality welds are required, orbital TIG welding is the ideal technology for tube-to-tube or tube-to-tube sheet welding applications. With or without filler wire, this is a stable, reliable process that can be used on a wide range of materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium and nickel and aluminium alloys.
Balmoral Resources Ltd. (Balmoral) recently announced that it has entered into an option agreement to acquire the Gargoyle Property in Ontario where nickel sulphide mineralization was recently discovered in intermittent outcrop exposure over a strike length in excess of 1,000 metres.
Commander Resources Ltd. is pleased to report that its project partner Fjordland Exploration Inc. (Fjordland) has expanded the company’s South Voisey’s Bay nickel-copper-cobalt project (the SVB Property) located 80 kms south of Vale's Voisey's Bay nickel mine in Labrador, Canada.
Manganese X Energy Corp. announced that it has signed a Property Option Agreement with a group represented by Mr. Francois Marcotte prospector as well as Guy Le Bel, Michel Delise and Rémi Charbonneau (the Vendors).
Special Quality Alloys Ltd have successfully been granted the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU approval. The approval applies to the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of stationary pressure equipment with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0,5 bar.
St George Mining Limited (SGQ) is pleased to announce that further high-grade nickel-copper sulphides have been intersected in drilling at the Mt Alexander Project, located near Leonora in the north-eastern Goldfields.
African Battery Metals plc, the exploration company developing projects in strategic battery metals, announced that it has conditionally agreed to make two separate acquisitions, being the entire issued share capital of each of Cobalt Blue Holdings (CBH) and Regent Resources Interests Corp.
Nickel alloys are a group of metallic materials that contain a significant amount of nickel as their primary alloying element, typically combined with other elements such as chromium, iron, copper, molybdenum, and others. These alloys exhibit unique properties that make them useful in a wide range of applications across various industries. Below we collected some key points about nickel alloys:
High Strength and Corrosion Resistance: Nickel alloys are known for their excellent combination of high strength and corrosion resistance. They can withstand harsh environments, including high temperatures, extreme pressures, and corrosive substances.
Versatile Applications: Nickel alloys find applications in diverse industries, including aerospace, chemical processing, oil and gas, power generation, marine engineering, and electronics. They are used in components such as turbine blades, valves, heat exchangers, chemical reactors, and electrical resistance wires.
Heat Resistance: Nickel alloys possess excellent heat resistance, making them suitable for high-temperature environments. They maintain their strength and structural integrity at elevated temperatures, making them ideal for applications such as gas turbines.
Corrosion Resistance: Nickel alloys have exceptional resistance to corrosion, particularly in harsh environments where other materials might fail. They resist attack from acids, alkalis, seawater, and various corrosive gases, making them valuable in chemical processing, marine, and offshore applications.
Magnetic Properties: Nickel alloys can exhibit ferromagnetic or paramagnetic properties depending on their composition and processing.
Weldability and Fabrication: Nickel alloys can be welded, allowing for the fabrication of complex structures and components. However, they require specialized welding techniques and proper heat treatment to maintain their desired properties.
Cost: Nickel alloys tend to be more expensive than common steels due to the higher cost of nickel and the complexity of their production. However, their unique properties often justify their use in critical applications where their performance outweighs the cost considerations.
