Conference Report: The Battle Against Corrosion
Nine corrosion specialists present their unique perspectives on the technical challenges facing the
global chemical process industry.
Unconventional Welding
Joining dissimilar superalloys requires
inertia welding to avoid micro-cracking.
Stainless Steel Water Gates
A total of 520 tonnes of stainless steel were used in this wastewater project in Alabama.
The Great Enabler
The use of nickel and nickel-containing stainless steels and alloys continue to increase worldwide.
A Cool Solution
Stainless steel heat
exchangers are key to the energy-efficient cooling of large office buildings.
Recycling Nickel That Has Been Plated on Plastic
A new plasma technology, developed in Japan, could allow metal that has been plated on plastics to be recycled economically.
Quality and Cleanliness
Giant open-top freezer chests, used to display seafood in Tokyo's Tsukiji Market are made of S30400 stainless steel.
Chopping Harmful Diesel Emissions
An award-winning diesel filter reduces exhaust emissions from cars and trucks by 85%.
Another First for Nickel
Nickel has scored another first, this time in the world's most powerful battery energy storage system in Alaska.
New Uses for Nano-Crystalline Nickel
Ultra-fine grain size is the key to new
applications for nickel in consumer sporting goods and the defense industry.
Olympic Nickel
About 100 tonnes of nickel have been used by The Bank of Greece to issue a two-euro coin commemorating the return of the Olympics to
Athens.
Nickel in China
If there are no serious setbacks with the Chinese economy the pattern of nickel use in China will probably be very similar to that
seen in other modern economies.
Mint Masters
Very long service life, excellent recyclability, and high security against fraud have been, and contine to
be, the main advantages of using nickel in
coinage.
A Tribute to Paul Dillon (1921-2004)
Our friend and colleague, C. P. Dillon passed away on April 7, 2004. He was a valued consultant to the Nickel Institute.
Prevent Plating Losses
The Nickel Institute has published some general process engineering guidelines to help prevent nickel losses from plating shops.
