Nickel

Copper
Nickel is recognised for its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and high melting point, making it a valuable metal in various industrial applications. 

Nickel is primarily used in the production of stainless steel to enhance the strength and durability of the material. It is also a crucial component in batteries, especially in the rapidly growing electric vehicle sector.  Nickel is used across a range of sectors including aerospace, electronics, coinage, and as a catalyst in chemical reactions, cementing its importance in modern industry and technology.

AMETEK Land provides comprehensive temperature measurement solutions to metal processing industries. Designed to operate in the harsh environments, these instruments are designed to the highest performance standards, optimised for making temperature measurements at every important stage of the process.

      Slag and Matte Tapping

      Smelting separates slag, a waste material, from molten metal (matte) based on temperature. Launders transport slurries, built with robust materials, coated for durability. Fixed thermal imagers monitor temperature for real-time decisions, reducing operator risk.
