Nickel, a silvery-white transition metal, exhibits a melting point of 1455 degrees Celsius (2651 degrees Fahrenheit). Its high melting point, along with its strength and corrosion resistance, makes it an essential component in various industries, including aerospace, electronics, and chemical processing. It is also found in coins, batteries, and pigments. Ongoing research explores nickel’s potential in energy storage, catalysis, and medical applications.
