The Nickel Institute (NI) is the global association of leading primary nickel producers. Our mission is to promote and support the use of nickel in appropriate applications. Stainless steels account for about two-thirds of nickel produced. The International Molybdenum Association (IMOA) is a similar organization, representing the worldwide molybdenum industry. www.imoa.info NI & IMOA have been actively involved in the Architectural, Building and Construction industries, and instrumental in the writing of the AISC Design Guide 27 and the new AISC specification for stainless steel.
