Monel 400 UNS N04400 2.4360 Super Alloy Bar For Heat Exchangers
Monel 400 (UNS N04400 / 2.4360) is a nickel-copper alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and good weldability. Composed of approximately 67% nickel and 30% copper, it offers outstanding resistance to seawater, acids, and alkalis, making it ideal for marine, chemical, and aerospace applications. This alloy retains mechanical properties across a wide temperature range, performing well in both cryogenic and high-temperature environments. Monel 400 bars are commonly used in pump shafts, valves, heat exchangers, and fasteners where superior corrosion resistance is required. The alloy exhibits good ductility and can be easily fabricated, machined, and welded. Additionally, it resists stress corrosion cracking in freshwater, making it a reliable choice for harsh conditions. With its exceptional strength and durability, Monel 400 remains a preferred material for industries demanding high-performance alloys that withstand extreme environments without significant degradation.
