Nickel sheets are ideal stock forms because they have standardized measurements. This allows manufacturers to plan for efficient storage, transport, and secondary processing. Nickle is are ductile, malleable, and the sheets are very thin. This means it is easy to fabricate nickel sheets into specific shapes while maintaining the integrity of the material.
Nickel material is incredibly useful in sheet form, because it’s features include ferromagnetism, hardness, corrosion resistance, and electrical and heat conductivity. When buying nickel sheets, it is crucial to consider the specific alloy being usedbecause chemical, physical, and machining properties may vary.
Before being made into sheets, nickel material is mined from the earth. Nickel is mined through hydrometallurgy or pyrometallurgical extraction. The nickel ore extracted is then refined through roasting and reduction processes until reaching the desired purity. Commercial grade nickel sheets contain 99.6% nickel. Some nickel alloys contain as little as 32.5% nickel.
Then the nickel (or the alloy) is formed into billets, ingots, bars, or other shapes that will formed into sheets. There are numerous processes used to produce nickel sheets. These include casting, extrusion, cold rolling, hot rolling, and drawing. The most common technique is hot or cold roll forming. In roll forming, the stock nickel is fed through a pair of rollers that compress the nickel metal into a thin sheet. The compressed nickel material may be heated or left at room temperature.
To achieve an accurate and consistent thickness, it may be necessary to use several rollers or many runs over the same rollers. To determine when this is necessary, Manufacturers should consider the nickel sheet’s intended purpose. Carefully evaluate the nickel sheet's thickness, gauge, length, breadth, and possible consequences of a secondary run.
After defining a purpose for your nickel sheet, the thin planes may undergo an assortment of operations. These include folding, punching, stamping, slitting, cutting, metal spinning, and other fabrication techniques that will produce a finished product.
