Top Five Things to Look for in a Nickel or Nickel Alloy Supplier

Posted in Reflections on 31st March 2011

William Rowland are a leading supplier of Nickel.

When choosing a nickel or nickel alloy supplier, there are many factors to consider; however, these are the five that we at William Rowland consider to be the most important:

Ability to Supply Nickel in a Range of Products and Sizes

Nickel has a range of applications, and one product will not necessarily fit every intended use. As such, nickel alloy suppliers should offer a range of nickel alloys in various forms to suit a variety of melting and plating applications.

William Rowland Ltd supply nickel in a range of melting products including plates, squares & pellets. We also supply a range of nickel alloys for use in superalloy production - for instance, nickel-niobium.

Ability to Supply Nickel of Certified Quality

When purchasing an item, you want to be assured of its quality. Look for a nickel alloy supplier with BSI Quality Assurance and ISO Certification. For example, William Rowland Ltd was amongst the first companies to be approved by the BSI QA Registered Stockist Scheme, and are certified ISO 9001:2008 standard.
