Nickel compounds are used for nickel plating, coloring ceramics, making batteries, and as catalysts, which accelerate the rate of chemical reactions. Pure nickel is a hard metal, which is used to make stainless steel and other metal alloys.
It is a soft, ductile and easy to shape metal. It has a great wetting property and high resistance to corrosion, ideal for coating other metals. It is mainly used in the manufacture of bronze, an alloy of tin and copper.
Zamak is an alloy of zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper. It is strong, durable and has a low melting point. It is used in the manufacture of metal castings, such as keys, buckles and automotive parts, as well as in jewelry and fashion accessories.
Antimony is used in the manufacture of batteries, plastics, glass and ceramics. It is also used as a flame retardant in electronic materials and textiles. Used as an alloy, this semi-metal greatly increases the hardness and mechanical strength of lead.
Zinc spheres are used in the manufacture of bearings, ball bearings, valves, chemicals, jewelry, decorative items and paints. Their high corrosion resistance and durability make them ideal for these applications.
They are characterized by the protection of steel against corrosion. They are pure SHG zinc ingots, 99.995% minimum purity, pressure die castings are suitable for very thin-walled and stable castings with special surface properties.
It is a soft, ductile and malleable metal with a low melting point. It is the refined version of lead ore and the alternative to iron ingot in the foundry industry.
It is used in the manufacture of pigments, plastics and chemical catalyst. It can also be used in metal plating in high voltage applications, in certain glass filters, in electrical relays and switches, in photo detectors and in batteries.
It effectively removes oxygen from molten metal with little or no reaction or slag formation. It is the most widely used deoxidizer.
It is an alloy between copper and zinc. We can use it in decoration, jewelry, costume jewelry, armament, currency, boilermaking, welding, up to the manufacture of wires, condenser tubes, electrical terminals, naval constructions, instruments, among others.
