INSG: Global nickel supply to rise by 18.2% in 2022, driven by increased capacity in Indonesia According to a report from the International Nickel Study Group (INSG), global nickel consumption rose by 16.2% last year, boosted by the stainless steel industry and the fast-growing battery industry. However, the nickel supply had a shortage of 168,000 tons, the largest supply-demand gap in at least a decade. INSG expected that the consumption this year will rise another 8.6%, surpassing 3 million tons for the first time in history. With the increased capacity in Indonesia, the global nickel supply was estimated to grow by 18.2%. There will be a surplus of approximately 67,000 tons this year, while it is still uncertain whether the oversupply will affect nickel prices. Post time: Jul-19-2022

How to Maximize Honed Tube Service Life After Installation

Honed tubes are critical components in hydraulic cylinders,where their inner surface quality directly affects piston movement,sealing performance,and equipment reliability,With precise bore tolerance,excellent straightness,and controlled surface roughness,honed tubes are widely used in construction machinery,industrial equipment,agricultural machinery,and automation systems,
Why Did an Overseas Hydraulic Equipment Manufacturer Choose Our Precision Honed Tubes

Hunan Great Steel Pipe Co,,Ltd,recently completed the export of a batch of precision honed tubes for a hydraulic equipment manufacturer in Vietnam,The tubes will be used as hydraulic cylinder barrels for construction machinery,where dimensional accuracy and surface finish directly influence sealing performance,operating efficiency,and service life,
How Does a Honed Tube Work

Hydraulic cylinder failures are often blamed on seals or hydraulic oil,but the condition of the cylinder bore is just as important,Even a small variation in bore accuracy can increase friction,shorten seal life,and reduce overall system efficiency,A honed tube is designed to solve these challenges,Through precision honing,the internal surface of the steel tube achieves strict dimensional accuracy and a controlled cross-hatch finish,allowing pistons and seals to operate smoothly under high pressure and repeated movement,With years of experience supplying hydraulic cylinder tubes and precision steel tubing for construction machinery,mining equipment,and industrial applications,Hunan Great Steel Pipe Co,,Ltd,provides customized honed tube solutions focused on dimensional accuracy,material reliability,and consistent quality,
What Is a Honed Tube

Hydraulic cylinders are only as reliable as the tubes they are built from,Even a high-quality piston seal cannot perform properly if the cylinder bore has poor roundness,excessive roughness,or inconsistent dimensions,These seemingly small imperfections can lead to oil leakage,increased friction,and premature component wear,
How Are Studded Tubes Inspected Before Shipment

A studded tube may appear to be a simple heat exchanger component,but its long-term performance depends on dozens of manufacturing details,Material traceability,stud welding quality,dimensional accuracy,and inspection records all influence whether the tube will operate reliably in high-temperature service,
