Nickel and Recuperators and regenerators

Their prices have moved together.

Nickel (commodity) and Recuperators and regenerators (energy): 1 relationship.

How they are linked

1. Price link: alloy input

Cost and price · Weak · Both ways

High-temperature parts use nickel-rich stainless steels and alloys. The link barely shows, with monthly moves correlating at 0.06, because nickel swings are averaged out over long fabrication contracts and other costs.

  • 0.06 monthly change correlation
