Did you know? Stainless Steel Facts in less than 3 minutes
We start a new series: "Did you know?" In the first issue we start with Nickel. Listen to the video to learn how much of the global Nickel production is used to produce stainless steel.
Did you know that 72 % of global Nickel production is used to produce ‘Stainless Steel’?
The share increased in recent years due to growing STS production mainly in China & Indonesia and a slightly higher austenitic share.
Batteries account for less than 10 % today - but could reach 20 – 30 % in next 5 years and up to 50 % in 10 years.
This could have significant implications on pricing, e.g. different prices for battery type nickel and nickel for stainless steel production.
