1Data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.
2The nickel contents are assumed to be as follows: metallurgical-grade oxide, 77%; waste and scrap, 50%; and stainless steel scrap, 7.5%. The chemicals
category contains the following: chemical-grade oxide, sesquoxide, and hydroxide, 65%; chlorides, 25%; and sulfate, 22%. Other salts and various
catalysts are assumed to be 22% nickel.
3Chemical-grade oxide is included in the "Chemicals" category.
4Excluded from "2006, total."
