Nickel Foil

Details and Specifications Nickel Foil

It is a thin sheet made of 99.99% pure nickel. Nickel Foil has a smooth, shiny silver-white surface with a slight golden tint. The foil retains nickel's qualities, including strength, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. It is also easy to form, weld, and polish. Because of these properties, it is widely used across industries like electronics, energy storage, and advanced manufacturing.

Nickel Foil performs well in harsh conditions, such as when in contact with seawater, alkalis, and many non-oxidizing acids. It also conducts electricity and heat efficiently, making it valuable for electrical and electronics uses. The foil can withstand temperatures up to about 600 °C without losing its properties. When it comes into contact with air, a thin protective oxide layer forms on its surface, avoiding further damage. This provides extended durability and reliability. Precise techniques and careful processing preserve its ultra-thin size, high tensile strength, and smooth surface.

Features of Nickel Foil

• Stability: Nickel Foil is odorless and non-toxic, and it remains chemically stable under normal working conditions. This makes it safe and easy to handle in manufacturing plants.
• Mechanical Strength: Due to its hardness and abrasion resistance, Nickel Foil maintains its shape and integrity even under heavy-duty use.
• Workability: It can be rolled, pressed, and formed easily to convert into thin sheets, fine meshes, or precision components.
• Manufactured with very low impurities, it delivers reliable, uniform performance in accuracy-critical applications.
• Thermal Resistance: With a melting point well above most operating temperatures, Nickel Foil maintains its structure even in hot environments.
• Conductivity: It transfers heat at around 70 W/m °C and reliably carries electrical current across a wide temperature range.
• Corrosion-Resistant: A self-forming oxide layer shields the metal from rust, moisture, seawater, acids, alkalis, solvents, and even oxidation at temperatures up to 600 °C.
• Surface Treatment: Nickel Foil can be electropolished, plasma-etched, or chemically coated.
• Sustainable: It can be recycled repeatedly without affecting its performance, supporting greener manufacturing practices.

Applications of Nickel Foil

As it improves performance and durability, it is a key material for lithium-ion and nickel–metal hydride batteries, as well as fuel cells in the energy sector. It is used in printed circuit boards, flexible circuits, and electromagnetic shielding in the electronics industry. The aerospace and defense industries use it because of its low weight, heat resistance, and high tensile strength. Stability at high temperatures makes it suitable for heating elements and thermal systems. Nickel Foil is also used in advanced applications, including graphene growth, piezoelectric films, catalysts, and coatings. It is also found in medical devices, connectors, telecommunications, and automotive safety parts. Thus, it is widely used in industrial production due to its high purity, durability, excellent electrical conductivity, and strong corrosion resistance.

Usage Instructions

• Depending on the target application, disperse Nickel Foil in a compatible medium such as ethanol, water, mineral oil, or other solvents.
• Adjust the foil-to-solvent ratio carefully for the best results.
• Mix gently to ensure uniform dispersion; avoid excessive or rapid stirring.
• For better results, use ultrasonic probes to achieve even distribution.
• Store in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from moisture, and always in its original, compatible packaging.
