Nickel is a silvery-white, hard, and corrosion-resistant metal commonly used to enhance the properties of alloys. It is known for its excellent resistance to oxidation, rust, and corrosion, making it ideal for harsh environments, including high-temperature applications. Nickel is primarily used in the production of stainless steel, alloys (such as Inconel, Monel, and Hastelloy), and electrical components, as it increases strength, hardness, and resistance to heat. It is also widely used in batteries, such as those in electric vehicles, as well as in aerospace, chemical processing, and marine industries. Nickel is available in various forms, including plates, sheets, rods, wires, and alloys, offering diverse applications depending on the specific needs of the industry.
