Overview

Why choose nickel?

Nickel is the optimal choice for investment-cast metal parts designed for harsh environments or exposure to corrosive substances. Consider nickel when your parts require:

  • Resistance to corrosion
  • Suitability for contact with corrosive substances
  • High-temperature strength
  • Suitability for harsh environments
  • Resistance to oxidation
  • Excellent weldability
  • Efficient formability
