Nickel and Nickel Alloys
|
Delahaye International Trading sources and supplies nickel and nickel Alloys to the South African and African markets.
Nickel is pre-eminently an alloying metal, and its chief use is in the nickel steels and nickel cast irons, of which there are many varieties. It is also widely used in many other alloys, such as nickel brasses and bronzes, and alloys with copper, chromium, aluminium, lead, cobalt, silver, and gold.
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:
• Aircraft gas turbines
• Steam turbine power plants
• Medical applications
• Nuclear power systems
• Chemical and petrochemical industries
A number of other applications for nickel alloys involve the unique physical properties of special-purpose nickel-base or high-nickel alloys. These include:
• Low-expansion alloys
• Electrical resistance alloys
• Soft magnetic alloys
• Shape memory alloys
The major alloy types that are used are:
• Iron-nickel-chromium alloys
• Stainless steels
• Copper-nickel alloys and nickel-copper alloys
• Nickel-chromium and nickel-chromium-iron alloys
• Low expansion alloys
• Magnetic alloys
