Micro Nickel Powder (Ni) Applications

1. Electronics: Micro Nickel Powder is used for manufacturing electronic components, such as capacitors, resistors, and connectors. It is an essential material for producing conductive pastes, inks, and coatings used in printed circuit boards.

2. Catalysis: Nickel-based catalysts are widely used in chemical and petrochemical industries for various processes like hydrogenation, desulphurization, and deoxygenation. Micro Nickel Powder serves as a catalyst support or as the catalytically active material itself due to its high surface area and reactivity.

3. Batteries: Micro Nickel Powder is used in the production of rechargeable batteries, especially nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. It acts as a key component in the negative electrode, responsible for storing and releasing electrical energy.

4. Metal alloys: Micro Nickel Powder is utilized in the production of various metal alloys, including stainless steel, superalloys, and high-temperature materials. It imparts corrosion resistance, strength, and heat resistance to these alloys, making them suitable for applications in aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectors.

5. Thermal spray coatings: Micro Nickel Powder is used for thermal spray coating applications, where it is melted and propelled onto a surface to form a protective or decorative coating. These coatings are used to enhance the durability, wear resistance, and temperature resistance of various components, such as turbine blades, engine parts, and industrial equipment.

6. Additive manufacturing: Micro Nickel Powder is employed in additive manufacturing or 3D printing applications. It allows the production of intricate metal parts with high precision and structural integrity. Nickel alloys printed with micro powder are used in aerospace, medical, and automotive industries.

7. Powder metallurgy: Nickel powder is extensively used in powder metallurgy techniques to produce sintered parts like filters, bearings, and electrical contacts. It helps in achieving the desired mechanical and electrical properties of the final product.

8. Welding electrodes: Nickel powder is employed in the manufacturing of welding electrodes due to its ability to improve weldability and reduce cracking. Nickel-based welding electrodes are commonly used for joining stainless steel, nickel alloys, and other materials.

9. Coatings and paints: Micro Nickel Powder is used in the formulation of coatings and paints as a pigment or filler. It provides metallic silver or gray color and enhances the corrosion resistance of the coatings.
