Temperature-dependent nickel release from nickel alloys.
Nickel release from Danish one krone coins and metal buttons from jeans has been measured at 20 degrees C in distilled water and at 35 degrees C in distilled water and synthetic sweat. The temperature elevation increased the nickel release from the coins and two of the nine metal buttons investigated. Obviously the sensitivity to temperature elevation differs from one alloy to another.
