NK0260 Micro-Nickel Powder (Ni) (CAS No. 7440-02-0)

Micro-Nickel Powder (Ni) Description

Micro-Nickel Powder (Ni) is a very fine form of nickel particles that typically range in size from several nanometres to several micrometres. It is produced by various physical or chemical methods, for example mechanical milling, chemical reduction or electrolysis. Micro-nickel powder is employed in applications such as the manufacture of catalysts, batteries and electronic devices, as well as a conductive filler in composite materials and coatings. Its fine particle size provides an increased surface area and reactivity, thereby making it suitable for many industrial processes.

Micro-Nickel Powder (Ni) Applications

1. Electronics: Micro-nickel powder is used in the manufacture of electronic components such as capacitors, resistors and connectors. It is utilised in the production of conductive pastes, inks and coatings employed in printed circuits.

2. Catalysis: Nickel-based catalysts are used in the chemical and petrochemical industries for processes including hydrogenation, desulphurisation and deoxygenation. Given its extensive surface area and reactivity, micro-nickel powder is employed as a catalyst support or as the catalytically active material.

3. Batteries: Micro-Nickel Powder is used in the production of rechargeable batteries, particularly nickel-metal hydride batteries (NiMH). It functions as a key component in the negative electrode, which is responsible for energy storage and release.

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

5. Thermal Spray Coatings: Micro-Nickel Powder is utilised in thermal spray coatings, where it is melted and propelled onto a surface to form a protective or decorative coating. These coatings are applied to enhance durability, wear resistance and temperature tolerance of components such as turbine blades, engine parts and industrial equipment.

6. Additive Manufacturing: Micro-Nickel Powder is used in additive manufacturing or 3D printing. It enables the production of complex metal parts with high precision and structural integrity. Nickel alloys produced using micro-nickel powder are used in aerospace, medical and automotive industries.

7. Powder Metallurgy: Nickel powder is extensively used in powder metallurgy for the production of sintered parts such as filters, bearings and electrical contacts. It contributes to achieving the required mechanical and electrical properties of the final product.

8. Welding Electrodes: Nickel powder is used in the manufacture of welding electrodes. It improves weldability and reduces the occurrence of cracking. Nickel-based welding electrodes are commonly used to join stainless steel, nickel alloys and other materials.

9. Coatings and Paints: Micro-nickel powder is utilised in the formulation of coatings and paints as a pigment or filler. It imparts a metallic silver or grey colour to the coatings and enhances corrosion resistance.
