Nickel Chemical Etching

Nickel is commonly used for its heat resistance and capability to withstand excess corrosion. Nickel components can be used in a variety of industries, including the medical and electronics industries.

Grades of Nickel

Nickel alloys we work with include:

  • Nickel- Silver
  • Nickel – Iron
  • Nickel 200
  • Nickel 201
  • Monel 400: Nickel alloy composed of nickel and copper, primarily, with Iron, Manganese, Carbon and Silicone.
  • Nichrome 80
  • Invar/FeNi36
  • Inconel x750: Nickel chromium-based alloy compatible with extreme pressure and temperatures.

Nickel – Silver Applications

With high thermal and electrically conductive characteristics, Nickel-Silver is an ideal electronics-grade alloy. While its name would indicate otherwise, Nickel Silver does not actually contain silver. Instead, the material is composed of Copper, Nickel and Zinc. Characteristics of Nickel-Silver include:

  • Silver-white color
  • Anti-galling properties
  • Corrosion resistant
  • Cryogenic performance
  • No discoloration due to oxygen exposure

Applications such as audio components, jewelry, food/sanitary and marine fittings, lead wiring, battery, and electronic connectors, and more use nickel-silver to maintain the integrity of their products.

Nickel – Iron Applications

Nickel-Iron contains 42%, 46%, or up to 48% Nickel, which creates a material that is ideal for thermal controlled-expansion applications under various temperature ranges. Nickel-Iron is most often used in industries that require easily machined alloys, and hot or cold forming, such as:
