In alloys, it is used in coins, Monel metal, nickel silver, nickel-chrome and stainless steels, permanant magnets, and cutlery.

Etymologie

() From Swedish nickel, an abbreviation of German kupfernickel (“a mineral containing copper and nickel”)l, from koppar (“copper”) + Nikolaus (“the devil”) due to the deceptive silver colour of the relatively valueless ore. Compare cobalt as related to kobolds.
