Nickel: Enabling Sustainability

摘要

Explaining how the attributes of nickel enable resource-efficient design is not an easy task. Fortunately, a concise, colourfully illustrated brochure recently published by the Nickel Institute explains, in clear terms, how nickel does just that. The brochure demonstrates how nickel is essential in gas turbines - those sophisticated pieces of machinery that are used to generate electricity from bio-gases produced by landfill waste. A photograph of a 75-year-old concrete pier in the Gulf of Mexico shows how nickel-containing stainless steel reinforcing bar can be used to create long-lasting, durable infrastructure.
