In terms of international pricing benchmarks, according to the CP data released by Saudi Aramco, the propane contract price (CP) in March was $895 / ton, up $120 / ton from the previous month, up 15.48% from the previous month and up 43.20% from the same period last year. Butane contract price (CP) in March was 920 US dollars/ton, up 145 US dollars/ton compared with last month, up 18.71% month-on-month, up 54.62% compared with the same period last year; In March, CP in Saudi Arabia rose sharply, giving a strong boost to the international and domestic LPG market. Benchmark LPG prices are higher than a year ago as the economy continues to recover and demand for crude oil continues to repair. According to this trend, the market price of nickel alloy will also be affected to a certain extent.
Nickel alloys are metals made by combining nickel as the main element with another material (usually titanium, copper, aluminum, iron, and chromium).
It combines two materials to provide more desirable functions, such as higher strength or corrosion resistance. Due to its unique performance, it is used in a variety of devices in multiple industries.
About 90% of all new nickel sold each year is used to make alloys. The most popular is stainless steel, which accounts for about two-thirds of newly produced nickel alloys.
Enhanced properties provided by the material:
Improved versatility
Higher toughness
Enhanced corrosion resistance
Oxidation resistance
Strength increases at higher and lower temperatures
Magnetic
Electronic properties
Many nickel-based alloys have excellent properties at temperatures above 1000°C, making them ideal for extremely harsh environments. They provide excellent oxidation resistance at high temperatures while maintaining high-quality weldability, machinability, and ductility.
How long is the life of nickel alloy?
Nickel alloys have an average life of 25 to 35 years. Depending on the application, the service life may be longer. So, the material is more cost-effective than other metals. Nickel alloys are recyclable and have one of the highest recovery rates in the world. About half of the nickel in stainless steel products comes from recycled nickel materials.
Nickel alloy applications:
This material is common in a variety of devices and objects that people use every day, including:
Mobile phone
Food preparation equipment
Medical equipment
Laboratory equipment
Transportation
Plane
Pharmaceuticals
Building materials
Aircraft and power turbines
Nuclear power system
The energy, chemical, petrochemical, and power industries rely on nickel superalloys for their excellent oxidation resistance and high-temperature strength in critical applications. Alloys of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum offer enhanced corrosion resistance.
Superalloys are made by adding homogeneous elements (including chromium, aluminum, cobalt, and titanium) to produce optimal directional solidification or single crystal structure, thus giving the material strength beyond that of ordinary steel. These nickel-based alloys are used in extremely hot environments, such as gas turbines and aircraft for electricity generation.
Iron-bearing nickel alloys are popular in electronics and specialty engineering. Nickel alloys with copper are used in Marine engineering because of their corrosion resistance in seawater.
Wastewater treatment and piping systems have increased the use of this type of stainless steel because of its very low corrosion rate when treating water, even at high flow rates. It also offers incredible strength and ductility and is easy to manufacture, making it easier to use a cheaper method of joining when assembling pipes.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, russia-Ukraine conflict and international trade friction, the global economy is facing great challenges. Overseas trade is shrinking, supply chains are not smooth, oil prices are rising, freight rates are rising, and global trade and economic recovery are becoming more uncertain, which brings many risks and challenges to the company's business. The price of the nickel alloy can also be influenced by the above factors. To get the price of the latest nickel alloy, you are welcome to send email contact.
