Monel

The alloy can be machined at satisfactory speeds with machine tools commonly used in the industry. Generally, cold drawn or cold drawn stress relief materials are recommended for the best machinability and smoothest finish.

The Curie temperature of this alloy lies within the ambient temperature range and is affected by changes in the alloy’s chemical composition. Caution is recommended in applications requiring strong non-magnetic properties.

This nickel alloy has good corrosion resistance, good wear resistance and high strength.

Nickel alloys are combinations of nickel and a variety of other metals that make strong, oxidation-resistant products with an average lifespan of 25 to 35 years. Monel 400 is a nickel-copper alloy containing approximately 67% nickel and 23% copper.

Alloy 400 exhibits corrosion resistance to many reducing media.

This alloy is most commonly used in a range of environments from mildly oxidizing to neutral and moderately reducing conditions. Other areas of application for this material are marine environments and other non-oxidizing chloride solutions.

It has excellent solderability and can withstand very high pressure and weight. The alloy has excellent mechanical properties at sub-zero temperatures, with a melting point of 2370¡ã – 2460¡ã F, and the product can be used at temperatures up to 1000¡ã C.

Alloys like Monel 400 flanges perform well in marine environments due to their chemical composition. The copper content is between 28% and 34% and is known as a superalloy due to its good corrosion resistance.

This nickel alloy exhibits characteristics like good corrosion resistance, good weldability and high strength.

A low corrosion rate in rapidly flowing brackish or seawater combined with excellent resistance to stress-corrosion cracking in most freshwaters, and its resistance to a variety of corrosive conditions led to its wide use in marine applications and other non-oxidizing chloride solutions.

This nickel alloy is particularly resistant to hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids when they are de-aerated. As would be expected from its high copper content, alloy 400 is rapidly attacked by nitric acid and ammonia systems.

Alloy 400 is low in strength in the annealed condition so, a variety of tempers may be used to increase the strength.

MONEL K500 is a age-hardenable Nickel-Copper alloy which combines the corrosion resistance of Alloy 400 with high strength corrosion fatigue and erosion resistance.

Monel K500 is a precipitation-hardenable nickel-copper alloy that combines the excellent corrosion resistance characteristic of Monel 400 with the added advantage of greater strength and hardness.

When in the age-hardened condition, Monel K-500 has a greater tendency toward stress-corrosion cracking in some environments than Monel 400. Alloy K-500 has approximately three times the yield strength and double the tensile strength when compared with alloy 400.

The strength of this nickel steel alloy is maintained to 1200¡ã F but stays ductile and tough down to temperatures of 400¡ã F. Its melting range is 2400-2460¡ã F.

Alloy K500 is refined by Electro Slag Refining (ESR), ensuring the cleanest and highest quality of material is supplied.

Monel 400 is a nickel-copper alloy (about 67% Ni ¨C 23% Cu) that is resistant to sea water and steam at high temperatures as well as to salt and caustic solutions.

Alloy 400 is a solid solution alloy that can only be hardened by cold working.

Monel 400 is a flexible nickel (63% minimum) – copper (34% maximum) alloy retaining strength and toughness at low temperatures while still being effective at temperatures around 1000 degrees F.

Monel 400 has high strength and toughness over a wide temperature range and excellent resistance to many corrosive environments. The composition is shown in the Table below.

Monel 400 products on a project basis is one of our strongest capabilities and is unmatched in our industry.

Nickel 400 Annealed Pipe, which is also referred to as a superalloy can be annealed at a temperature of 926¡ãC.

Alloy 400 Seamless Pipe exhibits excellent resistance to not only caustic solutions but also brine and seawater, which makes it perfect for marine applications.

Monel 400 Welded Pipe (NA13, N04400) offer hardness, strength and corrosion resistance with good fabrication capabilities. Monel 400 ERW Pipe can easily be welded by gas metal arc, gas-tungsten arc or shielded metal arc processes using appropriate filler metals.
