Nickel Powder is a metallic powder that is mainly recognized for its high tensile strength and corrosion resistance. It is mostly used as an alloying material with various other metals on a large scale to improve their mechanical properties and promote corrosion resistance. This metallic powder is also used as a raw material or as an additive in manufacturing various alloy metal products, which enhances the performance of the final product. It is also commonly used in various industrial activities, including powder welding and processes like glass molding. It is also used in brazing pastes that are further utilized in fuel cells due to its high thermal conductivity.

The market for Nickel Powder is primarily driven by its utility in metal manufacturing and alloying, which contributes to its demand in metallurgical industries. The unique properties of the compound, including high corrosion resistivity, high thermal conductivity, and excellent tensile strength, largely contribute to its demand in various industries. Its application in glass molding and powder welding further enhances its demand in the glass manufacturing, welding, and fabrication industries. Overall, industrial Nickel Powder procurement is affected by its demand as an additive in metallurgical and fabrication industries. The rising demand for high-performance metal products with excellent corrosion resistance in various industries also plays an important role in its growing demand.

Raw Material for Nickel Powder Production

According to the Nickel Powder manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Nickel Powder production include Nickel-Carbon Monoxide.

Manufacturing Process of Nickel Powder

The extensive Nickel Powder production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via Carbonyl Process: In this method, nickel and carbon monoxide serve as major starting materials for the synthesis of nickel powder through the carbonyl process. The synthesis begins with the chemical reaction of nickel with carbon monoxide to form nickel carbonyl gas (Ni(CO)4). Further, the obtained nickel carbonyl gas decomposes under controlled temperatures, which leads to the formation of nickel powder as the final product.

Nickel Powder is a metallic powder that is commercially obtained by the carbonyl process, where nickel metal is treated with carbon monoxide and then is crystallized to generate a fine powder of nickel metal. The molar mass of the compound is 58.69 g/mol. Various types of Nickel Powder are available in the global market, namely, hydrogen reduced, Novamet type 525, electrolytic Nickel Powder, and more. The metallic powder is insoluble in water, and its density is measured around 8.9 g/cm3.

The material is resistant to corrosion and exhibits a very high melting point that measures around 1455° C, along with Its boiling point that measures around 2732° C. It is a ferromagnetic material and loses magnetic ability above 355° C. The metal is soluble in chemical solvents such as dilute nitric acid and moderately soluble in sulfuric and dilute hydrochloric acid. However, it does not react with concentrated nitric acid and alkalis. The metal powder exhibits high corrosion resistivity, great electrical and thermal conductivity, and high tensile strength.
