The Nickel Institute has published Stainless Steel Infrastructure: a lifetime of savings. This new publication explains how the unique properties of nickel-containing stainless steel make it a cost-effective choice of material for a wide range of structural applications.

2020 marked the start of an exciting new decade in space exploration and innovation with nickel-containing alloys playing an important role in the construction of rockets, wheels, and catalysts, to name a few applications.

The Nickel Institute has published the latest in a series of updated technical publications aimed at helping engineers and specifiers select corrosion-resistant materials.

Nickel-based alloys and nickel-containing stainless are playing key roles in an emerging source of renewable energy known as thermal solar plants or concentrated solar power (CSP). The use of nickel-based alloys and nickel-containing stainless has enabled the solar power industry to overcome challenges in heat transfer and thermal storage technology.

Fulfilling the succession plan announced in June 2017, Dr Hudson Bates has been appointed President, Nickel Institute, to succeed David Butler, whose mandate was completed recently.

Juerg Schweizer has joined the Nickel Institute to take up the new position of Manager, Market Development, South East Asia.

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.

Nickel Institute is pleased to announce that it has published a fully revised second edition of Stainless Steels and Specialty Alloys for Pulp, Paper and Biomass Conversion a popular and practical guide for mill and project engineers within the pulp, paper and biomass sector.

Nickel Institute has recently appointed Dr. Philip (Quanming) Song as Manager Nickel Institute, China.

The Nickel Institute has published 'Nickel Compounds – The Inside Story', a free 16-page guide to nickel compounds written for non-specialists by industry experts. Nickel Compounds – The Inside Story shows how nickel compounds are essential to a wide range of industrial sectors including transport, aerospace, marine and architectural applications and for the manufacture of many consumer goods.
