High nickel alloys are used extensively because of their high-temperature strength, corrosion resistance, and special magnetic & thermal expansion properties. Nickel can alloy with many other materials such as molybdenum, chromium, copper, and iron. This allows for a wide variety of alloys that demonstrate unique properties such as low coefficient of expansion and shape memory.
