Powders and flakes of nickel

CPC v2.1 Code: 41521

About powders and flakes of nickel

cpc code 41521 covers the production and processing of powders and flakes of nickel, a vital material in the manufacturing of various industrial and consumer products. Nickel is a hard, silvery-white metal known for its corrosion resistance, high melting point, and unique magnetic properties. The powders and flakes produced under this code are essential inputs for a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, and energy, making it a crucial component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of powders and flakes of nickel typically involves several key steps. First, high-purity nickel is extracted from nickel ores through a series of chemical and metallurgical processes. The refined nickel is then mechanically processed into fine powders or thin flakes using techniques such as atomization, milling, or mechanical alloying. These production methods ensure the consistent quality and size distribution of the final nickel products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of powders and flakes of nickel include high-purity nickel metal, specialized machinery for powder and flake production, and various energy sources to power the manufacturing processes. Additionally, the industry may rely on other raw materials, such as reducing agents or alloying elements, depending on the specific applications and product requirements.

Production outputs

The powders and flakes of nickel produced under cpc code 41521 are widely used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries. These nickel products are commonly used in the manufacture of 41522 Nickel powders and flakes for use in batteries, 41523 Nickel powders and flakes for use in catalysts, and 41524 Nickel powders and flakes for use in other applications. The versatility of nickel powders and flakes makes them essential components in the production of batteries, catalysts, and a wide range of other industrial and consumer goods.
