Alloy production: Nickel pellets are frequently utilised as a primary material in the manufacture of nickel alloys, which are essential in a range of industries including aerospace, automotive and marine, due to their corrosion and heat resistance properties.
Electroplating: Nickel pellets are employed in electroplating processes to coat objects with nickel, thereby enhancing their appearance and protecting them against corrosion.
Battery manufacturing: Nickel is a crucial element in rechargeable batteries, particularly nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) and nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries. Nickel pellets are suitable for use in these applications.
Catalysts: In the chemical industry, nickel pellets can act as catalysts in various reactions, including hydrogenation processes.
Fertilizers: Some agronomic applications utilize nickel due to its essential role in plant nutrition, though this is a niche market.
Metalworking and Fabrication: Nickel pellets can also be used in processes such as welding or as a feedstock in powder metallurgy.
