[Why Choose] Nickel Briquette (Nickel B/Q): Key Specifications, Industrial Applications and FAQs
Nickel Briquette (Nickel B/Q)
Nickel briquettes are high-purity nickel products, typically with a 99.8% nickel content, formed by compressing fine nickel powder into a solid, compact shape. These briquettes are widely used in industries such as stainless steel production, battery manufacturing, and chemical processing due to their high purity and consistent composition. Compared to other forms like nickel power or cathodes, nickel briquettes are easier to handle and transport, reducing dust and allowing for precise dosing in metallurgical applications. They are particularly favored in the battery industry for producing nickel sulfate, a critical component in lithium-ion batteries.

[Industrial Applications]
- Stainless steel manufacturing
Nickel briquettes are widely used in the production of stainless steel due to their high nickel content and ease of handling. They are added to stainless steel melts to enhance corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and durability. Their compact shape minimizes material loss during melting, making them an efficient choice for alloying processes in producing high-quality stainless steel grades, especially austenitic stainless steel, which contains 8-10% nickel content.
- Battery manufacturing
Nickel briquettes play a critical role in the battery manufacturing industry, particularly in the production of nickel sulfate, a key component of lithium-ion batteries. Nickel briquettes are dissolved to produce high-purity nickel sulfate used in battery cathodes, providing higher energy density and longer battery life. This makes them essential for manufacturing batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and other high-performance energy storage solutions.
- Electroplating and surface coatings
In the electroplating industry, nickel briquettes are used to create electrolytes for nickel plating, which provides decorative finishes and protective coatings on various metal surfaces. Nickel electroplating enhances wear resistance, corrosion protection, and aesthetic appeal in products ranging from automotive parts to household appliances. The uniform composition of briquettes ensures consistent quality and efficiency in electroplating applications.
- Others; alloy production, chemical catalysts
Nickel briquettes are essential for producing nickel-based alloys used in aerospace, chemical processing, and power generation due to their high strength, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. In the chemical industry, they are used to manufacture nickel catalysts for hydrogenation and methanol production. Their high purity and compact form enhance catalytic efficiency, ensuring consistent performance and longer lifespan of the systems.

[FAQs]
- What is standard purity of your nickel briquettes?
The standard purity of nickel briquettes is typically around 99.8% ~ 99.9% pure nickel, conforming to industry standards like ASTM B39-79, making them suitable for high-quality applications in alloy production and battery manufacturing.
- How do nickel briquettes improve production efficiency?
Nickel briquettes enhance production efficiency due to their compact shape and high purity, which allow for easy handling, uniform melting, and precise alloying. This reduces material wastage and optimizes the use of raw materials in processes such as stainless steel production and electroplating.
- What is the difference between nickel briquettes and other nickel forms?
Nickel briquettes differ from other forms like nickel cathodes and nickel powder mainly in shape and handling properties. Briquettes are compressed and solid, making them easier to store, transport, and measure accurately, while cathodes are flat plates, and powders can create dust, making briquettes more practical for bulk handling.
- Are there specific storage requirements for nickel briquettes?
Nickel briquettes should be stored in closed packaging under dry storage conditions to prevent contamination and moisture exposure. Proper storage helps maintain their high purity and prevents deterioration during transport and storage.
