The purchase price of stainless steel and nickel-containing superalloy is based on nickel content. This is the correct answer. The price of finished nickel plate including tax is around 120, and the daily price changes.
Nickel is widely used as an alloying element, among which stainless steel accounts for more than half of the global nickel consumption. Because nickel is very expensive, it is very important to recycle nickel.
However, because almost all nickel exists in the form of one alloy or another, it is rarely recovered in the form of pure metal, the industry that consumes nickel-containing waste is very competitive in business because it can reduce the raw material cost by 5%- 10%.
Extended data:
The sources of nickel-containing waste are mainly "new waste" produced in the process of stainless steel processing and "old waste" produced after stainless steel scrap. European producers use more waste than American and Asian producers.
In 2000, the world stainless steel scrap market was about 4.8 million tons, with Europe accounting for 45% of the scrap demand, the United States accounting for 8%, and Japanese, Korean and China Taiwan Province Province accounting for 36% together. In 200 1 year, the United States and Germany were the largest waste exporters, with shipments of 500,000 tons each; Italy, Spain and Sweden import about 800,000 tons of stainless steel waste, and Europe is a net importer.
