Nickel alloys are some of the few metallic materials that can be used in contact with fluorine, hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen fluorine, or other derivatives. These nickel bars show very high resistance to caustic alkalies. Behavior in seawater is also excellent, with improved resistance to cavitation corrosion compared to copper-based alloys. It can be used in contact with dilute solutions of mineral acids, such as sulphuric and hydrochloric acids, particularly if they are air-free. However, if the alloy contains no chromium, corrosion rates may increase significantly in oxidizing conditions.
NICKEL BAR, ROD, & WIRE APPLICATIONS:
TW Metals stocks a variety of sizes and lengths of nickel bar, rod, and wire. If you are looking for special sizes or DFARS or domestic material, TW Metals has relationships with the domestic mills. We can supply your company with competitive domestic material in special sizes of nickel bars, rods, and wires that may not be available on the floor.
