Our offerings come in different compositions, purities, particle sizes, and price ranges. We supply powders in micro, nano, and spherical forms. Click on the model names below to request a quote.

Nickel Powder

Nickel powder can be classified into three types: electrolytic nickel powder, reduced nickel powder, and atomized nickel powder.

Electrolytic nickel powder, produced through an electrolytic process, is a primary material for powder metallurgy. It is extensively used in industries such as synthetic diamond tools, cemented carbide, electrometallurgy, machinery, and energy.

Reduced nickel powder, created through a reduction process, is also central to powder metallurgy applications. Its use spans similar industries, including synthetic diamond tools and cemented carbide.

Atomized nickel powder, known for its irregular shape, finds applications in high specific gravity alloys, diamond tools, special welding rods, surface coatings, and powder metallurgy components.

TFM’s spherical nickel powder is characterized by its controlled particle size and apparent density range. The combination of fine particle size, dendritic surface, high purity, and unique shape supports a variety of applications. These include high-purity magnetic alloys, silver-nickel electrical contacts, welding electrodes, anti-seize lubricants, friction components, nickel catalysts, roll-compacted strips, and organo-nickel compounds.

TFM’s high-purity filamentary powder, screened to eliminate large or agglomerated particles, is used in conductive coatings, adhesives, and gaskets. Its excellent corrosion resistance, good conductive properties, and distinctive filamentary shape make it highly effective in radio frequency and electromagnetic shielding coatings. Additionally, small quantities of this powder can enhance the weldability of coil coatings.

Nickel powder has diverse applications, including:

  • Powder metallurgy industry
  • Chemical reactions in the chemical industry
  • Welding
  • Diamond tools
  • Hard alloy production
  • Electric conductive slurry
  • Electronic materials
  • Multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs)

TFM offers nickel powder and nickel-based alloy powders of high quality and great density. If you don’t find the specific powders you need, please contact us. We can customize powder sizes to meet your requirements.

FAQ

  • Metal powders are fine particles of metals produced through various processes such as atomization, reduction, or electrolysis. They are used in applications like additive manufacturing, powder metallurgy, and coatings.

  • Alloy powders consist of two or more metallic elements combined to enhance properties like strength, corrosion resistance, and ductility, whereas pure metal powders contain only a single element.

  • The shape affects flowability, packing density, and spreadability. Spherical particles are preferred in additive manufacturing due to their superior flow characteristics.

  • Spherical powders are typically produced using gas atomization, where molten metal is atomized into fine droplets that solidify into spherical shapes.

  • Spherical powders offer better flowability and packing density, leading to improved layer uniformity and mechanical properties in 3D-printed components.

  • Factors include particle size distribution, shape, chemical composition, purity, and production method.

  • Yes, metal powders can pose hazards such as toxicity, reactivity, combustibility, and instability. Proper handling, storage, and safety protocols are essential.

  • In powder metallurgy, metal powders are compacted and sintered to produce components with complex shapes and tailored properties, often with minimal waste.

  • Yes, unused or excess metal powders from manufacturing processes can often be collected, sieved, and reused, provided they meet quality standards.

  • The combination of different metals in alloy powders can enhance properties such as strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability, depending on the application requirements.

  • Spherical alloy powders are used in aerospace, automotive, medical implants, and tooling industries for manufacturing high-performance components via additive manufacturing and powder metallurgy.

Production methods like gas atomization, water atomization, and mechanical milling influence particle size, shape, and purity, which in turn affect the performance of the powders in various applications.
