Nickel and nickel-based alloys are widely used in many fields, such as:
1. Ocean: marine structures in the marine environment, seawater desalination, seawater aquaculture, seawater heat exchange, etc.
2. Environmental protection field: flue gas desulfurization equipment for thermal power generation, wastewater treatment, etc.
3. Energy field: atomic power generation, comprehensive utilization of coal, wave power generation, etc.
4. Petrochemical industry: oil refining, chemical equipment, etc.
5. Food field: salt production, soy sauce brewing, etc. In many of the above fields, ordinary stainless steel 304 is not competent. In these special fields, special stainless steel is indispensable and cannot be replaced.
In recent years, with the rapid development of the economy and the continuous improvement of the level of the industrial field, more and more projects require higher-grade stainless steel. With the growth of demand for nickel-based alloys in various industries.
In 2011, my country’s nickel-based alloy market reached 23.07 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 19.47%.
Therefore, the industry development level is on a steady upward trend.
