Q1: What is high-purity nickel (99.96%)?
A1: High-purity nickel (≥99.96% Ni) is an industrial-grade nickel with minimal impurities. It exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and consistent mechanical properties, making it suitable for specialized applications.
Q2: What are the main applications of high-purity nickel sheets and plates?
A2: These nickel sheets/plates are commonly used in electronics, battery production (especially lithium-ion batteries), chemical processing equipment, aerospace components, and precision instruments where material purity is critical.
Q3: What forms and dimensions are available?
A3: High-purity nickel is supplied as sheets or plates, often with customizable thicknesses, widths, and lengths. In this case, a 30-meter length specification indicates a long strip or roll suitable for industrial fabrication and continuous processing.
Q4: How does high-purity nickel differ from commercial pure nickel (Ni201/Ni200)?
A4: High-purity nickel (≥99.96%) has fewer impurities such as carbon, iron, and copper compared to commercial pure nickel. This leads to superior electrical and thermal conductivity, better corrosion resistance, and suitability for high-tech applications.
Q5: What factors affect the price of high-purity nickel sheets/plates?
A5: Pricing is influenced by material purity, sheet/plate dimensions (thickness, width, and length), production method (hot-rolled, cold-rolled, annealed), order quantity, and market fluctuations in global nickel prices.
