Yes but as mentioned earlier with china sellers is that just because it was pure nickel once doesn’t mean it will be again. :sob:

I’ve had good luck on ali express. Everyone that said 99% pure nickel with descriptions showing how proud of the nickel they were sent me nickel. Most of them say they’ll do custom stuff. Links from my order history:

(don’t get .25 or .3, too thick for spot welders)

(2 orders, 2 different widths)

Sigh I just bought this, then looked again and saw it’s plated. Did you scratch before brine?

Damn I wonder if they changed description and I did notice the packaging changed. I’ll have to test the new stuff. Initially I scoured with a Dremel and did brine test, to which it passed

I think it’s a language thing, “plate” of pure nickel, not “plated” in nickel. Well at least some of the time. I see listings saying things like “99.94% pure nickel plate” that turned out to be nickel, not plated steel.

Good stuff, all I know is that the description to the one linked states nickel and steel as materials.
