The property and applications of nickel and nickel-based alloy

Aug. 29, 2011 - PRLog -- Nickel metal is mainly used for electroplating, nickel-plated items beautiful, clean, and not easy to rust. Fine nickel powder, commonly used as a catalyst in the chemical industry.

Nickel is used extensively for the manufacture of alloys. Adding nickel in the steel, can improve the mechanical strength. Such as the nickel content in steel increased from 2.94% 7.04%, the tensile strength will from the 52.2 kg / mm2 to 72.8 kg / mm3. Nickel steel used to make the machine to withstand greater pressure to bear part of load impact and reciprocating parts, such as turbine blades, crankshafts and connecting rods. 36% nickel, 0.3-0.5% nickel carbon steel, its expansion coefficient is very low, almost no thermal expansion and contraction, used to produce a variety of precision machinery, precision gauges and so on. 46% nickel, 0.15% of the high-carbon nickel steel, called "Similar Platinum” because of its expansion coefficient and platinum, similar to glass, this high-nickel steel can be welded to the glass. Very important in the production of light bulb can be used as a substitute for platinum wire.

Nickel-titanium alloy with the skills of "memory" and a strong memory, after a long period of time, repeated millions of times are accurate. Its "memory" is the ability to remember its original shape, so people call it "shape memory alloys." The original feature of this alloy has a transition temperature, above the transition temperature, it has an organizational structure, and in the transition temperature below which there is another organizational structure. Structure is different, the performance is different.

Nickel is magnetic, can be attracted by the magnet. And the alloy made of aluminum, cobalt and nickel, their magnetic is stronger. Attracted by the magnet of this alloy, not only that they will be sucked in the past, and it hung below its weight six times more than the things, it will not fall off. In this way, you can use it to create electromagnetic crane.
