Nickel, a versatile transition metal, serves as a foundational element in high-performance alloys due to its exceptional corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and magnetic properties. Newstar Hardware offers nickel in various forms—pure nickel (99.6% purity, ASTM B162) and nickel-based alloys—catering to diverse industrial needs. Pure nickel’s resistance to caustic alkalis, seawater, and food acids makes it ideal for chemical storage tanks, battery components, and food processing equipment. Its high electrical and thermal conductivity suits it for electronics and heat exchangers, while ductility allows for deep drawing and machining. Nickel-based alloys, such as Inconel, Hastelloy, and Monel, combine nickel with chromium, molybdenum, or copper to enhance specific properties: Inconel 625 resists high-temperature oxidation for aerospace components; Hastelloy C-276 combats strong acids in chemical processing; Monel 400 withstands seawater in marine engineering. Newstar Hardware’s nickel products meet ASTM, ASME, and ISO standards, with options for sheet, plate, bar, and tubing. Rigorous testing ensures chemical purity and mechanical consistency, while custom fabrication services (cutting, welding, machining) address unique project requirements. From nuclear reactors to renewable energy systems, nickel’s versatility makes it indispensable in modern industry.
