  2. Nickel electroplating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_electroplating

    Decorative bright nickel is used in a wide range of applications. It offers a high luster finish, corrosion protection, and wear resistance. In the automotive industry bright nickel can be found on bumpers, rims, exhaust pipes and trim. It is also used for bright work on bicycles and motorcycles.

    A further 10% is used for nickel-based and copper-based alloys, 9% for plating, 7% for alloy steels, 3% in foundries, and 4% in other applications such as in rechargeable batteries, [15] including those in electric vehicles (EVs). [16] Nickel is widely used in coins, though nickel-plated objects sometimes provoke nickel allergy.

  4. Nickeline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickeline

    Nickeline is rarely used as a source of nickel due to the presence of arsenic, which is deleterious to most smelting and milling techniques. When nickel sulfide ore deposits have been altered to produce nickeline, often the presence of arsenic renders the ore uneconomic when concentrations of As reach several hundred parts per million.

  5. Electroless nickel-phosphorus plating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroless_nickel...

    Electroless nickel plating, covered by a thin layer of gold, is used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards (PCBs), to avoid oxidation and improving the solderability of copper contacts and plated through holes and vias. The gold is typically applied by quick immersion in a solution containing gold salts.
