The nickel powder is a remarkably versatile powder material crushing and grinding from metal nickel. It is mainly used in aviation, aerospace, nuclear reactors, alkaline batteries, town-metal hydride batteries, electronic remote control, electrical alloys, high temperature strength alloys, catalysts and powder metallurgy additives such as military industrial, electronic, automotive, machinery and other industries.

From the dynamic analysis of international demand. In the next 10 years, the world's developed countries in Europe and the United States and Japan, for the small progress to improve the dense population living in urban atmospheric environment, is actively to focus on the research work of the various forms of pollution to reduce auto emissions, praised the production and consumption of electric vehicles . Exactly, non-polluting electric vehicles, energy supply are the nickel-metal hydride battery. The French government plans to pilot production within this year 7000 electric vehicles.

Accompanied by the increase of the share of electric vehicles in the world, the demand for nickel-metal hydride batteries will become increasingly keen nickel powder consumption is bound to loving the broadening of application areas and growing. Observed from the prospects of the Chinese market, the development momentum of China's automotive, electronic, mechanical, and industrial and communications industries are attracting world attention. Nickel powder applications continue to broaden and expand, including the four major industries and nickel powder consumption has a very close contact. They are the automotive industry, electronic industry, mechanical industry, energy industry.

As we all know, China has in recent years the electronics industry as the leading high-tech industrial development is very rapid. The rapid development of the electronics industry greatly promoted the rapid growth of services in electronic products nickel cadmium batteries, nickel metal hydride battery market demand. Nickel powder market today do not yet have the conditions of large-scale supply, first, low yields, small scale, it is difficult to adapt to the needs of the development, supply and demand is very prominent. Excluding the international market this year nickel powder price factors, it is more important to the Chinese market demand for nickel powder is rapid growth in domestic production capacity is far from meeting. Therefore, the production of the nickel powder should further expand the varieties of structure to be developed to meet the needs of mass production of the nickel-metal hydride batteries. The forecast for the next few years and even into the next century the demand for nickel powder is increasing, therefore, mining industry has great significance to further strengthen the prospecting work on the follow-up reserves of nickel ore base census.

Ultrafine nickel powder is mainly used for the production of mobile phones, personal and computer, notebook computers, power tools and other telecommunications equipment in multilayer ceramic capacitors, and the boron powder industry's need for nickel-metal hydride battery. In recent years, due to the rapid development of mobile phones, laptops, computers and other telecommunications equipment, the market demand of the ultrafine nickel powder on the rise. According to statistics, world demand for nickel-metal hydride battery production increased by 20%. In order to meet rapidly growing demand of the market, the United States, Japan and other countries continue to invest heavily to expand the production of nickel powder.

Like other countries, the developments of China's mobile phones, laptops, computer nickel-metal hydride battery are also very amazing. The battery industry of China need has been more than 2000 tons of nickel products a few years ago .Now it rose to about 4000 tons. In terms of yield or quality, production of nickel powder can not meet market demand, especially in the ultrafine nickel powder production. It is stretched. Chinese nickel powder production technology and process equipment there is a gap compared with developed countries, a result, many manufacturers in order to ensure the stability of the quality of their products, mainly imported ultrafine nickel powder as raw materials, Chinese nickel production enterprises should seize the opportunity and increase the technological efforts to develop themselves.
