PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Nickel aluminide is an intermetallic material of nickel and aluminum that has properties similar to both a ceramic and a metal. The alloy is very resistant to heat and corrosion, and finds use in heat-treating furnaces. As it also has very high thermal conductivity combined with high strength at high temperature, it may be used for special applications like coating blades in gas turbines and jet engines. Nickel is a chemical compound with the atomic number 28. It is found abundantly in nature in laterite ore minerals, such as limonite, garnierite, and pentlandite. Nickel has a biological role and is found in certain enzymes, including urease, hydrogenase, methylcoenzyme M reductase, and carbon monoxide dehydrogenase. Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust and is always found combined with other elements such as oxygen, silicon, and fluorine. (L739, L740, L40, L41, L500)
