Nickel alloy bar and rods monel 400 monel k500
MONEL nickel alloy is a solid solution alloy that can be hardened by the process of cold working.
MONEL is a trademark of Special Metals Corporation under which a series of nickel-copper alloys are grouped. Commercially there are many types of MONEL available, such as alloy 400, alloy 401, alloy R-405, Alloy K-500 and Monel 404.
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.
The proportions of copper and nickel used to make monel are the same as that found in the nickel ore found in Ontario mines. This alloy exhibits good corrosion resistance. This datasheet will look into the chemical composition, properties and applications of MONEL 400 alloy.
Mone 400 is copper nickel alloy,has good corrosion resistance. In salty water or seawater has excellent resistance to pitting corrosion, stress corrosion ability. Especially hydrofluoric acid resistance and resistance to the hydrochloric acid. Widely used in the chemical, oil, Marine industry.
It is widely used on many aspects,like valve and pump parts, electronic components, chemical processing equipment, gasoline and freshwater tanks, petroleum processing equipment, propeller shafts, marine fixtures and fasteners,boiler feedwater heaters and other heat exchangers.
The chemical composition of MONEL 400 alloy is given in the following table.
