in this paper, the hydrogen embrittlement of the high strength cr-si spring steel with after zn-12%ni electroplating, have been evaluated. slow strain rate test with 3.34 × 10 -6 sec -1 strain rate was performed, and the hydrogen embrittlement index of the different samples was calculated. the effect of shot peening before plating and the baking after plating and also the effect of applying a n...

nickel can also be determined using a copper anode. Conditions are similar to those for nickel except that the applied potentials must be 200 mV more positive than for nickel. The anodic reaction rate constants with copper are typically somewhat greater than with nickel, however the applied potential results in increased background noise so that copper offers no signal-to-noise advantage over n...

Lithium and nickel present low toxicity, but are able to cause alterations in different tissues. The toxic effects of lithium and nickel at different cellular levels were assessed using two inorganic chemical species: lithium chloride and nickel(II) chloride. Mouse neuroblastoma cell cultures (Neuro-2a) were exposed to both compounds for 24 h. The cytotoxic effects evaluated were cell prolifera...

Nickel compounds induce cell transformation in cell culture models and tumor formation in experimental animals. However, the molecular mechanisms by which nickel compounds induce tumors are not yet well understood. The present study found that exposure of cells to either Ni(3)S(2) or NiCl(2) could result in specific transactivation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), although it did ...

Heavy metals are stable environmental contaminants, causing various alterations in target tissues. Garlic has some beneficial effect in preventing heavy metal induced various alteration. The objective was to investigate the possible protective role of fresh aqueous homogenate of garlic on hematology, erythrocyte antioxidant defense system in male albino rats treated with NiSO4 and K2Cr2O7. Rats...

Nanoparticles of nickel have been prepared by laser-driven decomposition of nickel carbonyl. In this method, an infrared laser rapidly heats a dilute mixture of nickel carbonyl and a photosensitizer in a carrier gas to decompose the precursor and initiate particle nucleation. To produce nickel nanoparticles, nickel carbonyl was generated in situ from activated nickel powder and CO at room tempe...

The relative toxicity and carcinogenicity of nickel sulfate hexahydrate (NiSO4.6H2O), nickel subsulfide (Ni3S2), and nickel oxide (NiO) were studied in F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice after inhalation exposure for 6 h/day, 5 days/week for 2 years. Nickel subsulfide (0.15 and 1 mg/m3) and nickel oxide (1.25 and 2.5 mg/m3) caused an exposure-related increased incidence of alveolar/bronchiolar neoplas...

Nickel is an essential engineering material and electrodeposited Ni has been widely used in many fields to improve surface finishing, corrosion resistance and wear properties. The kinetics of electrochemical deposition of nickel from chloride baths in the presence and absence of saccharin on the copper substrate was investigated by applying cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry measureme...

Using data from published studies, lung concentrations of nickel were compare for persons with and without occupational exposure to nickel. As expected, the concentrations were much higher for persons with occupational exposure. To estimate the effects of nickel-containing tobacco smoke and nickel in the ambient air on the amount of nickel accumulated in lungs over time, a model was derived tha...
