They are used in: chemical, food processing, pharmaceutical, energy, and power generation, aerospace and aircraft components and structures, oil & gas extraction and refining, marine equipment, medical equipment, and automotive applications.

Applications Nickel is one of the most widely used metals on the planet. According to the Nickel Institute, the metal is used in over 300,000 different products. Most often it is found in steels and metal alloys, but it is also used in the production of batteries and permanent magnets.

They are used in aircraft gas turbines, steam turbine power plants, medical applications, nuclear power systems, and the chemical and petrochemical industries. Specialized applications include low-expansion, electrical resistance, and shape memory.

When it comes to applications, nickel is used as a constituent of different types of alloys; for instance, Monel (corrosion resistant material), Nichrome (an alloy used for resistance heating elements), Permalloy (an alloy with high magnetic permeability at low field strength and low hysteresis loss), cupro-nickel, stainless steel, nickel silver, etc.
