Nickel and nickel alloys

Nickel has been used in alloys that date back to the dawn of civilization. Chemical analysis of artifacts has shown that weapons, tools, and coins contain nickel in varying amounts.

Nickel in elemental form or alloyed with other metals and materials has made significant contributions to our present-day society and promises to continue to supply materials for an even more demanding future.

Nickel is a versatile element and will alloy with most metals. Complete solid solubility exists between nickel and copper. Wide solubility ranges between iron, chromium, and nickel make possible many alloy combinations.

Nickel (Ni) has strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance to metals.

Used in stainless steels and nickel-base alloys.

Alloys are used for high temperature applications, such as jet-engine components and rockets.
