Just got off the phone with a friend of mine. He said the price of nickel has skyrocketed.
Anybody hear that too?

What is nickel used for, I'm thinking a mixture or plating of some kind?

Melt value I quoted for a nickel was from a few days ago... Should be way more than that today...

Nickel is also used in some welding rods

My son works at the only Nickel Mine in the US. The junk rock is now considered ore because Nickel is so valuable.

I've worked over 31 years in a major nickel mine, hoping the price holds for a while. It was over $20 a lbs back around 2006 and we made good bonus when nickel was over $2 back then.

A lot of nickle plated copper wire is used in the Automotive and Aerospace industries for corrosion resistance and it's weld-ability. As was mentioned it's also a component in stainless steel, at up to 25% of the total composition, that's a lot of nickle.
