This sounds like a home work question. But as I don't know what your teacher wants for an answer. I will discuss what I know.
Nickel is:A high hardness metal
Can be and is used in alloys
Is relatively inexpensive for its properties
Is very resistant to corrosion
Can be plated to other materials (The coating system most used in automotive)
This all makes it ideal to coat other materials to increase the wear resistance
In alloys it tends to make the material it is combined with harder wearing
All in all very useful

How can you deposit nickel as a coating using nickel chloride?
You can deposit nickel as a coating by using nickel chloride and a technique known as electroplating.
What is used as a protective coating on metal?
Nickel
How is nickel used commercially?
used for nickel platting and other products that need a coating
What was invented on 1912?
theory of the propeller, compressors for combustion engines, rocket engines, Kaplan turbines, chrome-nickel steel, trans-oceanic ship with a diesel engine
Is 1966 quarter real silver?
No. U.S. quarters minted in 1965 and later are mostly copper with nickel coating.
What metals are used to make piston rings?
Typically, especially in the early days of internal combustion engines, piston rings were made using specially hardened cast iron. Nowadays various alloys of hardened nickel/chrome steel are also used.
Is there nickel in a Corvette?
The only nickel I can think of in a Corvette, would be in the engine bearing inserts.
Why do electric cars produce sulfur dioxide?
Electric Cars produce sulfur dioxide from their batteries. The manufacturing process of Nickel Metal Hydride (ex. Toyota Prius) and Lithium Ion (ex. Hyundai Sonanta Hybrid) batteries creates a lot of sulfur emissions. A conventional internal combustion engine vehicle actually emits less sulfur oxides to the atmosphere than electric and hybrid vehicles.
How do you make not nickel free earrings nickel free?
To make nickel earrings nickel-free, you can coat them with a layer of clear nail polish or a jewelry sealant to create a barrier between the nickel and your skin. Another option is to attach hypoallergenic earring hooks or posts to replace the nickel ones.
What is the name of internal nucleolus of the earth?
Inner Core. It is made of solid nickel-iron alloy.
Is combustion the reaction of hydrogen and propene using a nickel catalyst?
No, combustion is a chemical reaction between a fuel (like hydrogen or propene) and an oxidizer (usually oxygen) that produces heat, light, and often flames. Using a nickel catalyst would be more common in processes like hydrogenation or catalytic cracking, where the catalyst helps the reaction proceed in a specific way.
What metals does the US use to make quarters?
Since 1965, U.S. quarters have been made of a solid copper core with a copper/nickel coating.
