Welding Consumables
It is used in a very wide range of applications - from high temperature oxidation and creep resistance service to aggressive corrosive environments and very low temperature cryogenic applications
Nickel has been used in alloys that date back to the dawn of civilization. Chemical analysis of artifacts has shown that weapons, tools, and coins contain nickel in varying amounts.
Nickel in elemental form or alloyed with other metals and materials has made significant contributions to our present-day society and promises to continue to supply materials for an even more demanding future.
Nickel is a versatile element and will alloy with most metals. Complete solid solubility exists between nickel and copper. Wide solubility ranges between iron, chromium, and nickel make possible many alloy combinations.
Nickel and nickel alloys are used for a wide variety of applications, the majority of which involve corrosion resistance and/or heat resistance. Some of these include:
It is used in a very wide range of applications - from high temperature oxidation and creep resistance service to aggressive corrosive environments and very low temperature cryogenic applications
The nickel-chromium and nickel-chromium-iron series of alloys led the way to higher strength and resistance to elevated temperatures.
