About Nickel
Nickel is a corrosion-resistant transition metal primarily used in stainless steel production, which accounts for approximately 65% of global demand, alongside applications in batteries, superalloys, and electroplating. International nickel trading occurs in three principal forms: Class 1 cathodes (99.8% purity), Class 2 cathodes (99.0% purity), and ferronickel (containing 25-40% nickel). Indonesia, the Philippines, Russia, and New Caledonia are the world's largest producing regions, with Indonesia and the Philippines collectively dominating nickel ore and intermediate product exports. Buyers should verify cobalt content specifications, as cobalt impurities significantly impact stainless steel quality and battery performance, making third-party assay certification essential before purchase.
