🏭 Manufacturing Process

Producing a Nickel 200 Round Bar requires precision engineering and stringent quality control:

Raw Material Selection – Only certified high-purity nickel ingots are used.
Hot Working – Bars are formed through hot rolling or extrusion for optimal grain structure.
Cold Drawing – Achieves the required diameter tolerance and surface finish.
Annealing – Improves ductility and corrosion resistance.
Surface Finishing – Polished or turned to meet customer specifications.
Final Inspection – Includes dimensional checks, ultrasonic testing, and chemical analysis.

🌊 Corrosion Resistance

The High Purity Nickel Bar demonstrates exceptional resistance to:

Acids – Performs well in hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitric acids at varying concentrations.
Alkalis – Superior resistance in caustic soda and potassium hydroxide solutions.
Marine Environments – Long-term durability against seawater corrosion and biofouling.

This is why it is extensively used in desalination plants, offshore platforms, and marine hardware.
