Inā hoʻolei ʻia ka mea hoʻoheheʻe metala i ka nickel ma muli o ke kaʻina hana hoʻoheheʻe wax (kekahi ʻano o ka hoʻoheheʻe pololei), a laila e loaʻa nā hoʻoheheʻe nickel alloy. ʻO ka nickel-based alloy kahi ʻano o ka alloy kiʻekiʻe me ka nickel e like me ka matrix (ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o 50%) a me ke keleawe, molybdenum, chromium a me nā mea ʻē aʻe e like me nā mea hoʻohui. ʻO nā mea hoʻohui nui o nā nickel-based alloys he chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, aluminika, titanium, boron, zirconium a pēlā aku. Ma waena o lākou, ʻo Cr, Al, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe ke pāʻani nei i kahi hopena anti-oxidation, a ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe he hoʻoikaika paʻa paʻa, hoʻoikaika i ka ua a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka palena o ka palaoa. Loaʻa i ka nui o nā alloys ma muli o ka nikela. Ma ke kūlana o ka hoʻonā paʻa a me ka mālama ʻana i ka wā kahiko, aia kekahi mau ʻāpana intermetallic a me nā carbonitrides metala ma ka austenite matrix a me nā palena palaoa o ka alloy. Loaʻa ka ikaika kiʻekiʻe a me ke kūpaʻa oxidation maikaʻi, ka pale ʻana i ka corrosion a me ke kūpaʻa wela kiʻekiʻe ma waena o 650 a 1000 ° C. ʻO ke kinikini i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka nickel he mea maʻamau ke kūpaʻa wela kiʻekiʻe. Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā mea hoʻoheheʻe ma muli o ka nickel i nā nickel-based heat-resistant alloys, nickel-based corrosion resistant alloys, nickel-based wear-resistant alloys, nickel-based precision alloys and nickel-based shape memory alloys e like me ko lākou mau waiwai nui. ʻO nā mea hoʻoheheʻe ma muli o ka nickel, nā mea hao a me ka nickel-based superalloys i hui pū ʻia he mau mea wela wela. No laila, ua kapa ʻia nā superalloys nickel-based e like me ka nickel-based alloys. Hoʻohana nui ʻia nā mea hana superalloy e pili ana i ka Nickel i ka mokulele, aerospace, petroleum, chemical, nuclear energy, metallurgy, marine, protection environment, machinery, electronics and other fields. ʻOkoʻa nā māka a me nā ʻano hana wela i koho ʻia no nā ʻāpana mechanical like ʻole.
