Nickel Metal for stainless steel - Basekim

Nickel Metal is a vital industrial material. It is widely used in stainless steel, superalloys, electroplating, batteries, and chemicals. With a purity of 99.8%–99.99%, Nickel gives resistance to corrosion, strength at high temperatures, and stable magnetic behavior. Because of these features, many industries depend on it for durability and reliability.

In recent years, demand for Nickel has increased quickly. This growth comes mainly from electric vehicles and energy storage systems. As a result, Nickel has become essential in lithium-ion (NMC/NCA) and NiMH batteries. Moreover, this trend shows no sign of slowing down.

Main Uses of Nickel Metal

Nickel supports many sectors, and its uses continue to grow.

  • Stainless Steel (main use): It adds toughness, surface finish, and corrosion resistance.

  • Superalloys: We see it in turbines, aerospace engines, marine parts, and chemical plants.

  • Electroplating: Nickel creates smooth and protective coatings for cars and electronics. In addition, it improves wear resistance.

  • Batteries: It helps batteries store more energy and last longer.

  • Catalysts & Electronics: It works in sensors, catalysts, and chemical production.

In fact, because Nickel is useful in so many areas, it always remains in high demand.

Product Forms & Availability of Nickel Metal

We provide Nickel in three forms, and each form matches a specific use.

  • Cathodes: They serve melt shops and plating lines.

  • Briquettes: They are easy to handle and efficient for alloying and foundries.

  • Powder: This form works best for batteries and chemical uses because it dissolves fast.

For this reason, buyers can easily select the option that fits their needs. Furthermore, our packing ensures safe transport and quick handling.

Packing options:

  • 250 kg sealed drums

  • 1 MT jumbo bags (lined and palletized for transport)

We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every batch. In other words, every buyer receives proof of consistent quality.

Handling, Documents & Logistics of Nickel Metal

We make delivery simple and reliable. Each shipment includes:

  • Commercial Invoice

  • Packing List

  • COA (Certificate of Analysis)

  • MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)

  • Bill of Lading

We arrange shipments under FOB, CIF, and CFR terms. At the same time, we also allow mixed-metal loads if buyers request them. Therefore, customers get both flexibility and efficiency.

Quality & Standards

Our Nickel meets ASTM, EN, and JIS standards. In addition, every lot is traceable. Buyers can request retention samples if needed.

For example, battery and plating industries may need lower levels of Fe, Cu, or S. In that case, we adjust impurity levels in advance. Consequently, customers always receive material that matches their specifications.

Buying Guide

Which form should I choose?

  • Cathodes → plating and melt shops.

  • Briquettes → foundries and alloying.

  • Powder → batteries and chemical uses.

What purity is common?

  • 99.8% for most industries.

  • 99.99% when low impurities are required.

Can deliveries match production?
Yes. We plan shipments ahead of time, and we coordinate schedules to align with production.

 

Stainless steel is the primary destination, followed by superalloys, electroplating, and energy storage.

Electrolytic 99.8% for general industry and 99.99% where low impurities are critical.

Cathodes, briquettes, and powder—each chosen based on process compatibility and handling

Typically 250 kg drums or 1 MT jumbo bags, sealed and palletized to reduce contamination and ease handling.

COA, MSDS, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and Bill of Lading; additional certificates available on request.
