Precipitation hardening possible Alloy 500 bar N04400
Typical applications for Monel K500 grade rods include those tasks that take advantage of the alloy’s high tensile strength and corrosion resistance. For example, Monel B865 K500 forged bar can be used to make impellers, propeller shafts, pump shafts.
In fact, for this particular alloy, they exhibit almost 3 times the yield strength of alloy 400. ASTM B865 UNS N05500 Bar Stock has approximately 2 times the tensile strength and has undergone a hardening precipitation process as before, and its strength can be increased by the use of cold working.
UNS N05500 Monel K500 bar stock is also used in the manufacture of valve components, bolted connections, and oil well collars and instrumentation components for ships and offshore drilling towers, which are used in production in the oil and gas industry.
