Nickle Alloy

Nickel:-

Nickel is a lustrous, white, hard, ferromagnetic metal, which is easily shaped into a variety of product forms. It is most frequently used as a constituent of a various alloys, of which stainless steels are the most common.

Uses:-

Batteries, electroplating, coins, welding rods and wires, electronic or computer equipment, pigments for paints or ceramics, jewellery, kitchen tools

Name Of Nickel Alloy:-

Monel metal, Monell metal :- 

An alloy of nickel and copper and other metals (such as iron and/or manganese and/or aluminum)

Nichrome :-

An alloy of nickel and chromium with high electrical resistance and an ability to withstand high temperatures; used for resistance heating elements

Permalloy :-

An 80/20 alloy of nickel and iron; easily magnetized and demagnetized

Nickel bronze:- 

 A bronze containing up to 30% nickel

Nickel silver:-

(Engineering / Metallurgy) any of various white alloys containing copper (46-63 per cent), zinc (18-36 per cent), and nickel (6-30 per cent): used in making tableware, etc. Also called German silver pakthong

Nickel steel:-

(Chemistry / Elements & Compounds) Engineering steel containing between 0.5 and 6.0 per cent nickel to increase its strength

Dimethylglyoxime:-

Dimethylglyoxime is a chemical compound described by the formula CH₃C (NOH)C(NOH)CH₃. This colorless solid is the dioxime derivative of the diketone diacetyl (also known as 2,3-butanedione). DmgH₂ (dimethylglyoximate) is used in the analysis of palladium or nickel. Its complexes are of theoretical interest as models for enzymes and as catalysts. Many related ligands can be prepared from other diketones, e.g. benzyl.

2, 3-Butanedione Dioxime

 
Preparation:-

Dimethylglyoxime can be prepared from butanone first by reaction with ethyl nitrite followed by conversion of the biacetyl monoxime using sodium hydroxylamine monosulfonate:

 

Uses:-

Dimethylglyoxime is used as a chelating agent in the gravimetric of nickel. The use of DMG as a reagent to detect nickel was discovered by L. A. Chugaev in 1905. For qualitative analysis, dmgH₂ is often used as a solution in ethanol. It is the conjugate base, not dmgH₂ itself, that forms the complexes. Furthermore, a pair of dmgH^- ligands is joined through hydrogen bonds to give a macro cyclic ligand. The most famous complex is the bright red Ni (dmgH)₂, formed by treatment of Ni(II) sources with dmgH₂. This planar complex is very poorly soluble and so precipitates from solution. This method is used for the gravimetric determination of nickel, e.g. in ores.
