Application of nickel alloys in instrument making

Are you interested in the use of nickel alloys in instrumentation from the supplier AvecGlob? Here you will find interesting information on this topic.

General characteristics of nickel alloys used in instrument making

Nickel-containing alloys play an important role in the production of measuring instruments and apparatus that are intended for use in conditions of permanent corrosion effects occurring in a significant temperature range — from +700 ⁰ C to -200 ⁰ C. Such assemblies are found in the food industry, and telecommunications, in antenna assemblies and high-temperature gauges of various production equipment. They are used because — in comparison with other materials — provide better corrosion resistance, better viscosity, better strength at high and low temperatures, as well as a number of special magnetic and electronic properties.

The most important in the instrument-making industry are alloys of iron, nickel and chromium, of which stainless steel containing 8… 12% nickel is the largest volume of application. Nickel alloys with a structure of stainless steel, but with a higher nickel content are used for more responsible applications, such as high-precision instruments for monitoring and monitoring the technical characteristics of power plants, nuclear reactors, etc.

In addition, iron-nickel alloys are used in thin electronics and specialized equipment. A total of 300 brands of nickel-containing alloys are used in various branches of instrument making.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers at a reasonable price from the manufacturer a diverse range of nickel-based alloys that can be used in instrument engineering. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer.

Properties of nickel alloys used in instrument making

Often, nickel is used to create decorative corrosion-resistant coatings on the body parts of measuring equipment. This is nickel plating, which is also often used in the tool industry to produce a highly resistant tool.

Nickel is a key part of several battery systems used in emergency power systems of devices with remote use. The most important today are nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries .

The use of most nickel-containing alloys increases the useful life of instrumentation products by about 20… 25 years. Products containing nickel can often provide optimal solutions to various practical problems at lower overall costs and more efficient use of resources, including energy. At the end of their service life, nickel-containing waste can be collected and recycled for subsequent use or effective disposal.

Application examples

Below are listed some of the applications of nickel-containing alloys in the electronics industry and instrumentation:

Irons (low coefficient of thermal expansion, relatively high thermal conductivity, good electrical conductivity, ferromagnetic properties);

Sensors, instrumentation (strength at elevated / low temperatures, stiffness and strength, the possibility of additional surface coverage);

Products subject to soldering (corrosion resistance, reliability of connection, good thermal conductivity, ferromagnetic properties);

Nickel-containing copper alloys (good electrical conductivity, the possibility of use as solders).

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers to purchase various brands of nickel alloys used in instrument making. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards of production. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.
