Abstract
Nickel is one of the most important ferro-alloy metals and its major use today, accounting for about half of the world’s total production, is for making nickel steels and nickel cast irons. It is also used for many other alloys, especially with copper (Monel metal) and chromium (stainless steel). Nickel imparts to its alloys toughness, strength, and anti-corrosion qualities; nickel steels and alloys are preferred for moving and wearing parts of many types of machinery. Other important uses of nickel include electroplating and coinage.
