This is much higher than the nickel content of terrestrial dusts and sediments and provides a basis for the determination of the meteoritic mass influx.

The Mint states that multi-ply plated steel technology, already used in Canada's smaller coinage, produces an electromagnetic signature that is harder to counterfeit than that for regular alloy coins ; also, using steel provides cost savings and avoids fluctuations in price or supply of nickel.

A nickel processing plant located along the Nodagawa River provides employment for some of the local population.

It provides sacrificial protection for copper, nickel and other non-ferrous metals, but not for steel.

The layer of nickel provides mechanical backing for the gold layer, improving its wear resistance.

The shells are made by electroforming onto a highly polished aluminium mandrel, starting with a 250 nm layer of vapour-deposited gold that becomes the reflecting surface, then the nickel support ; the mandrels are reusable but a different one is needed for each shell.

Less expensive flutes are usually constructed of brass, polished and then silver-plated and lacquered to prevent corrosion or silver-plated nickel silver ( nickel-bronze bell metal ( 63 % Cu, 29 % Zn, 5. 5 % Ni, 1. 25 % Ag, 0. 75 % Pb, alloyed: As, Sb, Fe, Sn )).

It has a magenta finish with black nickel hardware.

Additionally he had a Colt Single Action Army revolver with a nickel finish and ivory stocks bearing the serial number 89524, and a Sheffield Bowie knife with a dagger type of blade and stag handle made by George Wostenholm in an elaborate silver-studded holster and cartridge belt.

Other processes such as nickel plating, powdercoating or hardening can also be applied as a finish.

In 2010, Colt released a " revival " of the Frontier Six Shooter with a nickel finish.

While there are only a few base metals, the patina ( finish ) can range from gold, silver, nickel, brass, copper.

A slightly different model labeled the H2O Nova is similar, with the exception of an electroless nickel finish replacing the standard black coating, presumably with corrosion resistance in mind.

The pistols were coated in an electroless nickel finish and featured traditional sights.

Compared to cadmium plating, nickel plating offers a shinier and harder finish, but lower corrosion resistance, lubricity, and malleability, resulting in a tendency to crack or flake if the piece is further processed.

These drums are made from 100 % Birch shells ( originally made from birch and basswood ) and feature die-cast hoops in a black nickel finish.

* Chad Smith-A 5 " x14 " steel snare in a black nickel finish, featuring Masters Series lugs.

# The Remington Model 7600 Weathermaster: A Model 7600 rifle that has a nickel finish to the rifle as well as the rifle having a black synthetic stock.

The current statuette stands 12-inches tall, consisting of a 9-inch die-cast zinc sculpture resembling a pair of wings, hand finished with a satin texture, plated with a nickel and rhodium finish, and mounted on a 3-inch tall, black-stained ash, trapezoidal shaped base.

It was the first Morris to have hydraulic brakes and chromium plating replaced the previous nickel finish on brightwork.

Blue or Silver finish ( not nickel ) or combination of both.

Their kind created an American culture superior to any in the world, an industrial and technological culture which penetrated Russia as it did almost every corner of the earth without a nickel from the Federal treasury or a single governmental specialist to contrive directives or program a series of consultations of interested agencies.

With six in the group, the cost comes to just a nickel a day per person on the daily fee.

There is evidence, though less convincing than for Af, that the Af bond in nickel dimethylglyoxime is symmetric.

A number of semiempirical estimates by various workers lead to the conclusion that the Af bond becomes symmetric when the Af bond length is about 2.4 to 2.5 A, but aside from the possible example of nickel dimethylglyoxime there have been no convincing reports of symmetric Af bonds.

For all meteorites, the average nickel content is about 2.5 per cent.

During the past year, these ligands have yielded some unusual five-coordinate complexes of nickel ( 2 ) and some interesting binuclear phosphorus-bridged complexes of palladium ( 2 ) ( see figure ), as well as new compounds of the well-known type Af.

Besides iodine and tellurium, later several other pairs of elements ( such as argon and potassium, cobalt and nickel ) were known to have nearly identical or reversed atomic weights, leaving their placement in the periodic table by chemical properties to be in violation of known physical properties.

If there are three types of atoms forming the mixture, such as iron, nickel and chromium, then it is called a ternary alloy.

Stainless steel is an example of a combination of interstitial and substitutional alloys, because the carbon atoms fit into the interstices, but some of the iron atoms are replaced with nickel and chromium atoms.

Many alloys of aluminium, copper, magnesium, titanium, and nickel can be strengthened to some degree by some method of heat treatment, but few respond to this to the same degree that steel does.

The use of alloys by humans started with the use of meteoric iron, a naturally occurring alloy of nickel and iron.

As no metallurgic processes were used to separate iron from nickel, the alloy was used as it was.

In theory it can occur only in nuclei somewhat heavier than nickel ( element 28 ), where overall binding energy per nucleon is no longer a minimum, and the nuclides are therefore unstable toward spontaneous fission-type processes.

Another set of methods is the aromatization of cyclohexanes and other aliphatic rings: reagents are catalysts used in hydrogenation such as platinum, palladium and nickel ( reverse hydrogenation ), quinones and the elements sulfur and selenium.

Common industrial catalysts are based on platinum, nickel or palladium.

For laboratory syntheses, Raney nickel ( an alloy of nickel and aluminium ) is often employed.

Owing to the complete absence of mountain building and glaciation since the Permian ( in many areas since the Cambrian ) ages, the outback is extremely rich in iron, aluminium, manganese and uranium ores, and also contains major deposits of gold, nickel, iron, lead and zinc ores.

* Nickel brass is composed of 70 % copper, 24. 5 % zinc and 5. 5 % nickel used to make pound coins in the pound sterling currency.

The term may also refer to certain types of nickel silver alloys as well as Cu-Zn-Sn alloys with high proportions ( typically 40 %+) of tin and / or zinc, as well as predominantly zinc casting alloys with copper additive.

Beryllium increases hardness and resistance to corrosion when alloyed to aluminium, cobalt, copper ( notably beryllium copper ), iron and nickel.

Burundi possesses reserves of: nickel, uranium, rare earth oxides, peat, cobalt, copper, platinum ( not yet exploited ) and vanadium.
