Nickel Wire

The Lone wolf Metals & Trading Company Limited specializes in supplying high-purity Nickel Wire.  Nickel is a silver-white metal which occurs mainly in the sulfide and arsenic ores. It is extracted by roasting to NiO and then reducing using carbon. Pure nickel is manufactured by the Mond process, in which impure nickel is reacted with carbon monoxide (CO) to produce Ni(CO)4, which is then decomposed at 200C to yield 99.99% Ni. Nickel has an abundance of 80 ppm in the earth’s crust.

Pure nickel is malleable and ductile, and is resistant to corrosion in air or water, and hence is used as a protective coating. It is readily soluble in diluted acids, but is unaffected by alkalis. Applications for nickel include its use as a constituent of various alloy types; for example, Nichrome (an alloy used for resistance heating elements), Monel (corrosion resistant material), Permalloy (an alloy with high magnetic permeability at low field strength and low hysteresis loss), stainless steel, cupro-nickel, nickel silver, etc. It is also used in coinage, as a protective coating and within food and chemical handling plants.

Applications for Nickel Wire

  • Vacuum equipment, pump grids, internal components of vacuum valves;
  • Components inside electronic tubes;
  • As resistors when significant resistance changes are required at high temperatures;
  • Components of hydrogen thyratrons; and
  • Resistance thermometers among others.
