Nickel is a comparatively rare element, found often associated with cobalt. Its minerals are frequently found in small amounts in connection with magnesian igneous rocks, where it is commonly associated with chromite. Only a few localities produce the metal in commercial quantities, the world’s output coming mostly from the nickeliferous pyrrhotite ores of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, or from the silicate (garnierite) ores of New Caledonia. The production of nickel from ores mined in the United States is very small.

The chief use of nickel is in various alloys. Nickel steel, containing about 3.5 per cent of nickel, has a wide use because of its great strength and toughness. Other alloys are German silver (nickel), zinc and copper; metal for coinage (nickel and copper). Large amount of nickel are used in nickel are used in nickel plating.
