Nickel (NI), belonging to the iron-cobalt family, is the second most important alloying metal in specialty steels, next to chromium. The light 33 metal which is tough, ductile and partially magnetic has an atomic number of 28, an atomic weight of 58.70, and a melting point of 1452 degrees celsius (AMM, 1980, p. 143). Nickel was first discovered in 1751; the first nickel steel was not produced until 1920 when Michael Faraday added nickel to horseshoe iron. He subsequently formulated the laws of electrolysis which contributed to the development of nickel plating (Hilmy, 1979, p. 1).
