Scrap

High Nickel Scrap

High nickel scrap is a valuable, recyclable material made from nickel alloys that contain at least 50% nickel:
Properties: Nickel alloys are known for their strength, corrosion resistance, and temperature stability. They can withstand harsh environments, high temperatures, and chemical assault.
Uses: Nickel alloys are used in many industries, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, and chemical processing. They are also used to make stainless steel alloys, which are used in kitchen appliances and construction materials.
Recycling: Recycling nickel scrap is economically and ecologically beneficial. It helps conserve natural resources, reduce energy consumption, and lower waste disposal costs.
Classification: The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) classifies nickel scrap into several categories, including stainless steel scrap, high-temperature alloys, electronics scrap, and plating residues.
