Is nickel a good thermal conductor?
Its OK: most metals are good conductors -------------------------------------------- More: since a nickel is made out of copper and nickel then it is sure to be a good conductor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More Information: Pure nickel is not a very good thermal conductor compared to other metals like copper. Nickel is often mixed with other metals, such as copper, and those alloys often have better thermal conductivity than pure nickel.
What is a 1959 nickel made of?
All US nickels minted since 1866, with the exception of those minted during the latter part of 1942, all of 1943 through 1945, are composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
What is the percent of silver in a nickel 1970?
The percentage of silver is zero. None. Nada. Zilch. Those coins are 75% copper, 25% nickel. During WW 2 some US nickels were 35 percent silver. But not in 1970.
What is a Jefferson nickel made of?
All US nickels made from 1866 to mid-1942 and from 1946 to the present are made of an alloy of 25% copper and 75% nickel. Nickels minted from mid-1942 to 1945 were made of copper, silver, and manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Those "war nickels" are identified by a large mintmark letter over the dome of Monticello. Despite a lot of popular misunderstandings, those are the ONLY 5-cent pieces that have any silver in them.
Is a nickel solid silver?
No. Nickels are called nickels because they contain nickel (and a lot of copper, too.) From mid-1942 to 1945 nickels did contain a small amount of silver because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Those "war nickels" are the ONLY ones that have any silver in them. And in any case, solid silver is far too soft for use in circulating coins. It always has to be alloyed with some other metal, usually copper, for hardness.

Are copper brass nickel zinc and gold attracted by a magnet?
Nickel is the only element among those listed that's attracted to a magnet.

What are nickels from the 60's made out of?
The same nickel alloy that is used today. 75% copper, 25% nickel. In fact, the nickel still has the composition that original nickels had back in 1866 when the first nickels were struck. The only change to the nickel is during WWII on nickels dated 1941-1945 with a large mintmark over the Monticello, those nickels are 56% copper, 35% copper, and 9% manganese.
Examples of ductile materials?
Gold, Platinum, Copper, Aluminum, Silver, Iron and Nickel.(and those are only metals)
What elements are in a Canadian one dollar coin?
Since 2012, the Canadian loonie has been brass-coated steel (copper, zinc, iron, carbon). Those dated 1987-2011 were bronze-plated nickel (copper, tin, nickel). The earlier large dollars dated 1968-1986 were pure nickel. Then the old silver dollars were 80% silver with 20% copper.
What is the value of a 1926 silver nickel?
Not silver. All U.S. nickels except those minted during WWII are made of 75% copper and 25% nickel. There are values at the Related Question link.
Are there any dimes that are magnetic without copper from 1998?
No. US dimes have never been made from a magnetic metal - only from silver/copper alloy up to 1964, and copper-nickel clad after that.However, Canadian dimes have been struck in either nickel or steel since mid-1968 and those metals ARE attracted to a magnet.
What are the major metals of dimes nickels and quarters?
With the passage of the Coinage Act of 1965, the composition of the dime changed from 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper to a clad "sandwich" of pure copper inner layer between two outer layers of cupronickel (75% copper, 25% nickel) alloy, giving a total composition of 91.67% Cu and 8.33% Ni. All nickels struck from 1866 to mid-1942 and since 1946 have been in 75% copper and 25% nickel. Those struck from mid-1942 to 1945 were made of silver, copper, and manganese to save nickel metal for the war effort. The current clad version of the quarter is two layers of cupronickel, 75% copper and 25% nickel, on a core of pure copper. The total composition of the coin is 8.33% nickel, with the remainder copper.
Do some 1948 nickels look like copper?
All 1948 US nickels (in fact, all US nickels except those made during WWII) are struck in an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper, so their standard color is silver-gray. If a nickel was exposed to heat, chemicals, or some similar agent it may take on a different color. Nickels are also popular coins for high-school chemistry experiments.
