Nickel is the main focus of our business in Canada, and Vale is the world’s second-largest producer of this important metal.
Nickel is rarely used in its pure form. Instead, it is combined with other metals, especially iron, chromium and copper, to produce alloys that are superior to the individual metals. Nickel is used as an alloying element in cast irons, steels (such as austenitic stainless steels) and non-ferrous alloys. It is also used in nickel-based alloys, which are applied to more challenging applications.
Here are just a few places where you’ll see nickel in your everyday life:
- Bathroom taps and shower heads
- Batteries
- Coins
- Cars
- Mobile phones
- Jet engines
- Cutlery

Nickel for Stainless Steel
One of the primary uses of nickel is to make stainless steel. The nickel products we make that are destined for use in stainless steel are manufactured in plants that meet the highest industry standards, and are produced to the highest quality to ensure consistent and reliable results for our customers.
They are also designed specifically to be handled in automated charging systems and can be added at various stages in the stainless steel production process. The nickel that we use for stainless steel is produced at our sites in Brazil, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and China. We maintain a worldwide sales and distribution network and provide clients with technical support to fit their needs.
The following products are designed for stainless steel production:

Nickel for Melting
Vale produces three nickel products for melting in Canada. The products are suitable for a variety of demanding applications because they are high-purity and consistent in quality.
Electrolytic Nickel Melt Rounds
Electrolytic Nickel Melt Rounds are produced at our refinery in Long Harbour, Newfoundland. Their consistent chemical composition allows them to be used as a primary feed in a variety of furnace types while their distinctive shape makes them perfect for semi- and fully automated operations. In addition, the solid metallic nature of the rounds helps to minimize breakage and dust.
Product Data Sheet:
Nickel Pellets
Nickel Pellets are produced at our refineries in Copper Cliff and Clydach. The Nickel Pellet is a product of the carbonyl refining process. This product’s purity and consistent quality make it suitable for use in the most demanding applications.
Product Data Sheet:
Nickel Discs
Nickel Discs are produced at the Copper Cliff Nickel Refinery in Sudbury, Ontario, and our Clydach Nickel Refinery in the U.K.
The Nickel Disc is a product of the carbonyl refining process. This process makes one of the purest forms of nickel. The consistent product quality and the distinctive shape (for optimum handle-ability and convey-ability) make nickel discs an industry standard for a wide range of melting applications.

Nickel Plating
Vale has created the world’s leading product portfolio of advanced nickel plating products. Our products are manufactured in refineries that meet the highest standards and our products are of the highest quality, so that platers are always assured of consistent results. It’s no surprise that Vale is the world’s leading brand for use in electroplating.
Electrolytic Nickel Plating Rounds™
Electrolytic Nickel Plating Rounds™ are designed specifically for electroplating with titanium anode baskets.
Their unique shape makes them work well in baskets and ensures good solution flow and mixing in both regular and shaped baskets of various mesh sizes. With no sharp edges, they are easy to handle safely and produce minimal metallic residues upon dissolution.

Product Data Sheet:
Nickel P-Pellets™
Nickel P-Pellets™ are screened nickel pellets manufactured through our carbonyl refining processes in Sudbury, Canada, and Clydach, U.K. This product’s purity and consistent quality make it suitable for use in the most demanding applications.
Product Data Sheet:
Nickel Plating Chips
Nickel Plating Chips™ are an extremely pure and versatile form of plating nickel manufactured in our carbonyl refining processes in Sudbury, Canada and Clydach, U.K. Plating ChipsTM are used by some of the world’s most demanding electroplating applications.
Product Data Sheet:
Nickel Powder
Vale is the worldwide leader in carbonyl nickel powder, which we produce at our Copper Cliff Refinery in Sudbury, Ontario, and at the Clydach Refinery in Wales, U.K. Our high-quality powder is low in iron and sulphur content, uniform and optimized for a variety of applications.
CGNP™ Nickel
CGNP™ is used primarily as a fine nickel material for dissolving applications. These include precursors for electroplating and batteries.
This high-purity nickel, which is non-explosive and non-flammable, is the preferred nickel feed for producing nickel salts including nickel sulphamate, sulphate and chloride to name a few.

Product Data Sheet:
T255™
T255™ is a high-purity nickel powder with a fine, three-dimensional filamentary (or chain-like) structure. T255™ is produced at the Clydach Nickel Refinery in the U.K. and it is recognized as an industry standard feed for the production of sintered rechargeable battery electrodes. It is used in numerous other applications as well.
Product Data Sheet:
Cobalt
Vale Electrolytic Cobalt Rounds are a high purity, primary form of the metal produced by electrowinning. The unique button shape makes this product safe, convenient to handle and easy to transfer from drums.
Electrolytic Cobalt Rounds
Cobalt is an important constituent of alloys with high temperature oxidation, corrosion resistance properties and a critical component of a wide variety of magnetic alloy and hard metals.
