Spherical conductive nickel powder for 3D printing 15um 45um 53um nickel powder

Nickel is a silvery white metal found mainly in sulfide and arsenic ores. It is extracted by roasting into nickel oxide and then reducing it with carbon. Pure nickel is produced by the Mond process, where impure nickel reacts with carbon monoxide (CO) to form Ni(CO)₄, and then decomposes at 200°C to produce 99.99% Ni. The abundance of nickel in the earth's crust is 80 ppm.

Pure nickel is malleable and malleable and resists corrosion in air or water, so it is used as a protective coating. It is easily soluble in dilute acids but not affected by alkalis. Applications of nickel include use as a component in various alloy types; for example, nichrome (an alloy used in resistive heating elements), monel (a corrosion-resistant material), permalloy (an alloy that resists corrosion at low field strengths) Alloys with high magnetic permeability and low hysteresis loss), stainless steel, copper-nickel alloys, nickel-silver alloys, etc. It is also used in coinage, as a protective coating, and in food and chemical processing plants.

Nickel is classified as a carcinogen and is also an allergen for some people. It's found in many dietary ingredients, so it's difficult to avoid.
