==Uses==
Nickel is a silvery [[metal]] that resists corrosion even at high [[temperature]]s. Due to this property, it is used to plate other metals in order to protect them.<ref name=jef/>

Nickel is mainly used in the production of alloys such as [[steel|stainless steel]]. Another alloy is Nichrome, which combines nickel with [[chromium]], and small amounts of [[silicon]], [[manganese]] and [[iron]]. Nichrome is used in [[appliance|toasters and electric ovens]] as it resists corrosion even when it is red-hot.<ref name=rsc>Royal Society of Chemistry. (Accessed July 7, 2016). ''Nickel'' [Online], Available: http://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/element/28/nickel</ref> Nickel alloys are also used in the making of [[turbine]]s, see below.

Nickel is used in types of [[battery|batteries]], notably rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries used in [[hybrid car]]s (see below).<ref name=rsc/>
