Nickel Pipe There are two basic and chief Nickel compositions that are utilized in manufacturing nickel pipe –Nickel 200 and Nickel 201. Alloy 200 is a commercially pure wrought nickel alloy whilst alloy 201 is a low carbon version of alloy 200 that is used in applications where temperatures go high about 600of or 315oc. … Continue reading Industrial Pipe Materials and Installation

The performance of a magnet is based on a magnet field resulting in the magnetic induction of a metal or alloy. The magnetic field force H (A/m) produces magnetic induction B (Tesla) that is found by permeability µ = B/H. These correlations are determined by means of two coils enclosing a closed ring core, one … Continue reading Basis of Soft Magnetic Alloy-Uses of Permalloy

Silver is one of the precious and inert metals besides of gold and platinum. Among the production of silver, 25% is received from silver ores, 15% from gold ores, and rest 60% from copper, lead and zinc ores. From world silver produced in 2001, around 1/3rd was used to make jewelry and silver utensils, 1/4th … Continue reading A Complete Silver Guide-Unique Properties and Applications
