nickel-rich
High in element 28
Nickel-rich describes materials, substances, or geological formations containing a high concentration of nickel.
The term appears most often in scientific and industrial contexts, particularly regarding meteorites, alloys, and mineral deposits.
The nickel-rich ore made the mine commercially viable.
Scientists analyzed the nickel-rich core of the asteroid sample.
