NFS are one of the leading suppliers of nickel and nickel alloys in the UK. Pure Nickel has excellent corrosion resistance in many corrosive environments, against a wide range of media in both air and water, & especially caustic alkali's. It is for this reason that it is used extensively as a protective coating.

Commercially pure Nickel possesses high electrical conductivity, compared to high nickel alloys, low gas content and also good magnetostrictive properties. In the annealed condition it is both malleable and ductile making it very suitable for cold working, particularly deep drawing. Unlike many other materials, it work hardens slowly.
