​

​

Production of Nickel Alloys

The production of Nickel Alloys begins with extracting Nickel from ore, followed by refining through smelting or electrolysis to achieve high purity Nickel. This is then combined with alloying elements such as Iron, Chromium, Magnesium, Boron or Calcium in precise quantities to enhance its properties. 

 

The alloy is melted in high temperature furnaces (e.g. using an electric arc furnace) and cast into the desired form. These may be further processed through heat treatment such as annealing to improve the mechanical properties or some Nickel Alloys are then forged, rolled or machined into final forms. As a leading Nickel Alloys supplier and nickel alloys distributor, Westbrook have long-established partnerships with highly trusted producers. 


 

Key Properties of Nickel Alloys

Nickel Alloys are valued for their excellent corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments and their ability to maintain strength at high temperatures. They also offer superior fatigue and wear resistance, making them durable in high-stress applications. With outstanding oxidation resistance and strong mechanical properties, Nickel Alloys are ideal for industries like aerospace, marine, energy, and chemicals. Nickel Alloys are used in the steel industry, often added to steel to enhance its strength, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance. For any business seeking a reliable nickel alloys distributor, Westbrook offers both the technical knowledge and product availability to meet industrial needs.​​​​​​​​​​

Nickel Alloy FAQs

What is the difference between Nickel master alloys and Nickel-based superalloys?

​

Nickel master alloys are raw materials used to produce steel or castings (such as Nickel Magnesium and Nickel Niobium), whereas Nickel-based superalloys are castings containing Nickel and other property enhancing metals resulting in high-performance alloys that exhibit outstanding strength, heat resistance and corrosion resistance often used in the aerospace industry (such as Alloy 600 and Alloy 601).  As a nickel alloys distributor, Westbrook offers both categories

​
 

What are the benefits of Nickel based alloys?

​

Nickel-based alloys offer a multitude of benefits, including exceptional corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and superior mechanical properties. These alloys are highly versatile, making them ideal for a wide range of applications across industries such as aerospace, automotive, and chemical processing. When sourced from a reliable nickel alloys supplier, they ensure longevity and performance, even in the most difficult environments.


 

Do Nickel Alloys rust? 

​

Nickel Alloys are known for excellent corrosion resistance. They typically do not rust in the same way as ferrous metals. This resistance is due to the formation of a protective oxide layer on the surface of the alloy when exposed to oxygen in the air or moisture.

​

​

How resistant are Nickel Alloys to corrosion?

Nickel Alloys are highly resistant to various forms of corrosion, including:

  • Pitting and crevice corrosion.

  • Stress corrosion cracking.

  • Oxidation and sulphidation.

  • Caustic solutions.

 

They also maintain and sometimes enhance (depending on which type of Nickel Alloy and the corrosive agent) their corrosion resistance at high temperatures making them ideal for aerospace in addition to chemical processing, marine, and power industries. 

Nickel Alloys containing Molybdenum and Chrome also provide resistance to acids, and hydrochloric acid in particular.

​

 

How to choose a reliable Nickel Alloys supplier?

When selecting a Nickel Alloys supplier, consider factors such as experience, regulatory compliance (e.g. REACH, CBAM, sanctions etc.), quality accreditations and reputation. Regulatory compliance gives you peace of mind that all applicable laws and regulations have been followed, that your purchasing conditions requiring such compliance have been met and that there can be no potential repercussions from e.g. sanctioned material or REACH avoidance. The quality accreditations and reputation help to ensure the material you receive matches quoted specifications (including chemistry, sizing and packaging) and is delivered on time. Look for a supplier like Westbrook with a proven track record of supplying high-quality metals, ferro alloys and other metal alloys including a wide range of Nickel Alloys to industries worldwide.
