Nickel is a chemical element with its chemical symbol as Ni, atomic number 28, atomic weight 58.69, and classified into periodic system VIII. It is a silvery-white lustrous metal with a slight golden tinge. Nickel belongs to the transition metals with ferromagnetism. Electrolytic nickel is made from nickel by means of electrolysis and applied in production of stainless steel and alloy steel, with which we widely use during manufacturing of aircraft, tanks, missiles, ships, radars, spacecraft, civil machinery, ceramic pigments, magnetic materials, and electronic remote control devices. About two-thirds of the world’s nickel is consumed in production of stainless steel. The primary role of nickel in stainless steel lies in the fact that it can change crystal structure in steel. An increasing of Ni consumption in stainless steel contributes to formation of austenite crystal structure to improve plasticity, weldability and toughness of stainless steel, hence nickel is called Austenite Formation elements.
Now, as far as the world’s non-ferrous metals are concerned, consumption of nickel is only second to copper, aluminium, lead, zinc. As a matter of fact, nickel has long been regarded as an important strategic material and received high attention from country to country.
