Nickel Institute Courses Now Available on steeluniversity
steeluniversity is pleased to expand its Learning Solutions Directory through a strengthened collaboration with the Nickel Institute, a global authority on nickel-containing materials and their applications.
Integrating expertise from raw materials associations such as the Nickel Institute plays a key role in enriching the Learning Solutions Directory, ensuring it reflects the full value chain of the steel ecosystem—from material production and alloy design to fabrication, application, and long-term performance in service. The Nickel Institute has long supported engineers, designers, and decision-makers with practical technical guides and authoritative publications addressing corrosion behaviour, fabrication practices, alloy selection, and lifecycle durability.
Through this partnership, steeluniversity has transformed a selection of these well-established guides into structured online courses, making trusted reference material easier to access, navigate, and apply in daily engineering and operational contexts.
