Rocket science

Given successful test experiences to date, it is abundantly clear that 3D printing and nickel-containing alloys will be critical to the future of U.S. space travel for decades to come.

Marine exhaust scrubbers

As our largest ecosystem, oceans provide more than half the oxygen we breathe and most of the fish we eat. They are also waterways for transportation. As we become more mindful of the need to reduce our environmental imprint, the marine industry has increased its focus on ways to regulate its impact, including minimising the release of harmful emissions.

Nitinol-waste heat to electricity

A new energy-efficient engine that generates electricity from waste hot water could reduce both carbon emissions and energy consumption within the shipping industry and many other sectors.

Magnetic shielding

With the growing importance of Electro Mobility (eMobility) and the use of electric powertrain technologies (in combination with an increase of electrical/digital equipment), the demand for effective shielding materials as well as sensors is on the increase. Nickel-containing materials are playing a crucial role in this growing field of application.

Succinic acid is a dicarboxylic acid with the chemical formula (CH2)2(CO2H)2. The name derives from Latin succinum, meaning amber. Nickel-containing stainless steel is playing an essential role in the production of innovative ‘green’ succinic acid which is highly corrosive to low alloy and carbon steel.
