Alloy K500 has approximately three (3) times the yield strength and double the tensile strength when compared with 400. MONEL K500 can be further strengthened by cold working before the precipitation hardening.
Monel K500 pipe bend and elbow has excellent mechanical properties from sub-zero temperatures up to about 480C.
Monel K500 pipe bend and elbow have corrosion resistance in an extensive range of marine and chemical environments. From pure water to non-oxidising mineral acids, salts and alkalis.
Monel K500 pipe bend and elbow are usually used in propeller, pump shafts, pumps, valves used in the manufacture of perchlorethylene, and chlorinated plastics.
Monel nickel-copper alloy K-500 pipe bend and elbow combine the excellent corrosion resistance characteristic of Monel alloy 400 with the added advantages of greater strength and hardness.
Monel 400 is corrosion resistant to most salts, water, alkalis, organic substances, food products, and atmospheric conditions at both normal and elevated temperatures.
This is a nickel-copper, solid-solution alloy that is hardenable only by cold working. It has high strength and toughness over a wide temperature range and is resistant to many corrosive environments.
The alloy is used in many fields, especially marine and chemical processing.
Typical applications are valves and pumps; pump and propeller shafts; marine fixtures and fasteners.
ALLOY400 is a single-phase solid-solution Ni-Cu alloy with excellent corrosion resistance to a wide range of media.
Monel 400 is a nickel-copper alloy of about 67% Ni and 23% Cu.
ALLOY400 is a single-phase solid-solution Ni-Cu alloy with excellent corrosion resistance in a wide range of marine and chemical environments and has freedom from chloride induced stress-corrosion cracking.
Valued for its high strength and corrosion-resistant properties, Monel 400 is available from Continental Steel in multiple forms for use in a variety of end uses.
ALLOY400 is a single-phase solid-solution Ni-Cu alloy with good mechanical properties from sub-zero temperatures up to about 550 ¡ãC (1020 ¡ãF) and is approved for pressure vessels with wall temperatures from -10 to 425 ¡ãC (14 to 800 ¡ãF) according to VdTUV-Wbl. 263 and up to 900 ¡ãF (480 ¡ãC) according to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
Monel 400 (also known as alloy 400) is an attractive option for industries where corrosion resistance is of the highest priority.
Monel 400 is resistant to both steam and seawater as well as highly caustic solutions such as sulfuric, hydrochloric, and hydrofluoric acids when they are deaerated.
It exhibits excellent weldability and can withstand very large amounts of pressure and weight.
The alloy has great mechanical properties at subzero temperatures, and with a melting point of 2370¡ã ¨C 2460¡ã F, products can be used at temperatures up to 1000¡ã C.
Monel 400 works in a range of acidic and alkaline environments and features excellent ductility and thermal conductivity.
Its properties make it perfect for heavy-duty applications and those that require a high melting point and toughness under the harshest conditions.
Monel 400 is essential in heat exchangers, chemical plant equipment, and boiler feeders. It is ideal in wire or rod form and is excellent for trolling wire due to its resistance to seawater.
Monel 400 provide superior quality for different types of mechanical, and general engineering applications.
Its toughness lends itself to use in nuclear power plants, mining, cement, and the oil and gas industry.
It has high strength and excellent corrosion resistance in various acidic and alkaline environments, especially suitable for reducing conditions. It also has good ductility and thermal conductivity.
Alloy 400 is a solid solution alloy that can only be hardened by cold working.
The Monel 400 alloy is also known as super alloy monel. This alloy is available in some standard shapes such as hexagon, round, tube, pipe, plate, strip, sheet and wire.
While it is a very useful metal, it is cost prohibitive in most applications. Monel 400 costs 5 to 10 times as much as regular nickel or copper.
MonelK-500 alloy has a strong aging cracking tendency after large cold deformation. Cracks initiate on the surface and propagate towards the center. There are both transcrystalline and intercrystalline forms.
The superposition of residual stress caused by cold working and aging thermal stress, as well as the preferential embrittlement of the surface layer at the initial stage of aging, are the main reasons for aging cracking of Monel K500 alloy.
Monel K500 alloy has excellent corrosion resistance, and has higher strength and hardness than Monel 400. This is due to the addition of elements such as Al and Ti to the alloy, and after a certain heat treatment, there are dispersed intermetallic compounds on the substrate.
