Tzhmet specializes in supplying high-purity nickel metal products for industrial applications worldwide. Our nickel materials serve critical sectors including lithium battery manufacturing, electronics, chemical processing, and aerospace engineering, delivering exceptional electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength for demanding operational environments.
We provide nickel metal in various industrial-grade formats to meet diverse manufacturing requirements. Our product portfolio includes nickel foil, nickel tape, nickel metal sheets, and strip configurations, all manufactured to stringent quality standards. Each format is engineered with specific physical properties: density of approximately 8.9 g/cm³, melting point of 1455°C, and excellent thermal stability for high-temperature applications. Our nickel materials are available in different hardness states—soft (M), semi-hard (Y2), and hard (Y)—allowing precise matching to your processing requirements and final application needs.
Superior Electrical Conductivity: Our nickel products deliver stable electrical performance across varying operating conditions, making them ideal for battery connectors and electronic components where consistent current transmission is essential. The material maintains reliable conductivity without degradation, even under thermal stress.
Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Nickel metal exhibits outstanding resistance to oxidation and alkaline environments, remaining stable in seawater, salt solutions, and organic media including fatty acids and alcohols. This chemical stability ensures longevity in harsh industrial settings and chemical processing equipment.
High-Temperature Stability: With a melting point exceeding 1450°C, our nickel materials maintain structural integrity in extreme heat conditions. This thermal resilience makes them suitable for aerospace components, high-temperature reactors, and thermal management systems.
Excellent Formability and Weldability: The material's inherent ductility and plasticity enable efficient processing through cold rolling, hot rolling, stamping, and cutting operations. Strong weldability facilitates seamless integration with other metal components, streamlining assembly processes and ensuring robust structural connections.
Our nickel metal products serve critical roles across multiple industries. In the battery sector, they function as essential conductive connectors in lithium battery applications and nickel-metal hydride cells, supporting both power transmission and structural electrode requirements. The electronics industry utilizes our materials for PCB electroplating, capacitor electrodes, and precision connectors where signal integrity is paramount. Chemical processing facilities rely on nickel's corrosion resistance for seals, diaphragms, and reactor components operating under aggressive chemical exposure. Aerospace manufacturers incorporate our high-strength nickel materials into aircraft structural elements and thermal insulation systems where performance under extreme conditions is non-negotiable.
What is the difference between nickel metal and nickel alloys?
Pure nickel metal offers maximum corrosion resistance and thermal stability, while nickel alloys combine nickel with other elements to enhance specific properties such as strength, hardness, or temperature resistance. To understand the fundamental properties of materials, you might wonder is nickel a metal, nonmetal or metalloid.
How should nickel metal products be stored to prevent degradation?
Store nickel materials in dry, ambient conditions away from acidic environments. While nickel resists alkaline corrosion excellently, it can degrade in inorganic acids. Proper storage maintains surface quality and preserves mechanical properties for optimal processing performance.
What surface finishes are available for nickel metal products?
We offer polished, brushed, and standard mill finishes depending on your application requirements. Surface treatment can be customized to enhance reflectivity, improve adhesion for subsequent coatings, or meet specific aesthetic specifications for visible components.
Can nickel metal be used in rechargeable battery systems?
Yes, nickel metal is extensively used in rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries and as conductive tape in lithium-ion battery assemblies. Its stable electrical conductivity and resistance to electrochemical degradation make it ideal for repetitive charge-discharge cycling in power storage systems.
