Nickel

High Malleability: Nickel can be effortlessly hammered or rolled into extremely thin sheets, facilitating its use in applications where a large surface area in a thin form is required, such as in certain electrical conductors.

Exceptional Ductility: It has the ability to be drawn into fine wires without fracturing. This property makes nickel ideal for producing wires used in electronics, like those in precision coils.

Good Machinability: Nickel responds well to common machining operations. It can be easily drilled, milled, and turned, allowing for the creation of complex shapes and components with high precision.

Weldability: Nickel can be welded using various techniques, including arc welding and resistance welding. This enables the joining of nickel parts to form larger structures or assemblies.

Formability: It can be formed into different shapes through processes like bending, stamping, and forging. This makes nickel suitable for manufacturing automotive parts and decorative items.

Compatibility with Tooling: Nickel doesn't cause excessive wear on machining tools, reducing tool replacement costs and ensuring consistent production.

Surface Finish: Nickel can achieve a smooth and lustrous surface finish during processing, which is beneficial for applications where aesthetics or reduced friction are important.

Heat - Treatable: Through heat - treatment processes, nickel's mechanical properties can be adjusted to better suit specific manufacturing requirements, enhancing its overall workability.
