Nickel Disc Description
Nickel Disc is a flat, circular piece of nickel metal that is typically used in various industrial, scientific, and manufacturing applications. These discs are made from high-purity nickel and come in different sizes, thicknesses, and grades to suit specific needs. Nickel's inherent properties, such as excellent corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity, and good strength at elevated temperatures, make it a popular choice for a wide range of applications.

Nickel Disc Applications
- Electroplating: Used as substrates in electroplating processes where a thin layer of metal is deposited onto the disc's surface.
- Battery Manufacturing: Nickel discs are sometimes used in the production of rechargeable batteries, including nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.
- Aerospace and Automotive: Nickel discs are employed in the aerospace industry for turbine engine components, as well as in automotive exhaust systems where corrosion resistance is critical.
