Monel400 round steel Nickel copper alloy bar Monel 400 light bar Spot zero cut Spectrum detection

‌Monel 400 is a nickel-copper alloy with excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties. Its main components include nickel (about 63-70%), copper (about 28-34%), iron (about 2.5%), manganese (about 0.5%), and a small amount of carbon and other trace elements. These components make Monel 400 perform well in various corrosive environments, especially in media such as acids, alkalis, and salts.

Monel 400 alloy has excellent corrosion resistance in fluorine gas, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid and their derivatives. At the same time, it is more corrosion-resistant than copper-based alloys in seawater. Acid medium: Monel 400 is corrosion-resistant in sulfuric acid with a concentration of less than 85%. Monel 400 is one of the very few important materials that can resist hydrofluoric acid. Water corrosion: Monel 400 alloy not only has excellent corrosion resistance in most water corrosion conditions, but also rarely suffers from pitting corrosion and stress corrosion, and the corrosion rate is less than 0.025mm/a. High temperature corrosion: The highest temperature of Monel 400 in continuous operation in air is generally around 600℃, and the corrosion rate in high-temperature steam is less than 0.026mm/a. Ammonia: Due to the high nickel content of Monel 400 alloy, it can resist corrosion under anhydrous ammonia and ammoniation conditions below 585℃.
