Nickle Alloy Gasket Rings :
1. Metal Flat Gasket: Made of solid metal through machining, used for sealing in pressure vessels, towers, tanks, valve covers, and other applications.
2. Metal Corrugated Gasket: Metal corrugated gaskets are made by pressing, rolling, or turning metal flat rings into concentric wave-shaped circles, with non-metals such as expanded graphite or PTFE bonded to the surface.
3. Metal Toothed Gasket: Generally, a precision lathe is used to machine concentric grooves on both sides of a metal stainless steel flat gasket. Depending on the medium, materials such as flexible graphite, PTFE, asbestos-free sheet, or other soft metals can be bonded to both sides of the gasket.
4. Metal Ring Gasket: Metal ring gaskets are solid metal gaskets with cross-sectional shapes of octagonal or oval, providing radial self-sealing action.
5. Metal Lens Gasket: Metal lens gaskets are often used in high-pressure pipe connections, offering good sealing performance, with a nominal pressure range of 16.0-32.0 Mpa.
6. Metal O-Ring: Metal O-rings consist of a hollow metal ring filled with an inert gas, with the outer ring generally made of alloy material.
Monel 400 (UNS NO4400/W.Nr. 2.4360) is a nickel-copper alloy (about 67% Ni- 23% Cu) that is resistant to sea water and steam at high temperatures aswel as to salt and caustic solutions. Aloy 400 is a solid solution alloy that can only be hardened by cold working. This nickel alloyexhibits characteristics like good corrosion resistance, good weldability and high strength. A low corrosion rate in rapidly flowingbrackish or seawater combined with excellent resistance to stress-corrosion cracking in most freshwaters, and its resistance to avariety of corrosive conditions led to its wide use in marine applications and other non-oxidizing chloride solutions.
Pickling
Pickling can produce bright, clean surfaces on Alloy 400.
Fabricating
Alloy 400 is readily fabricated by standard processes.
Hot Forming
One procedure for producing forgings to such specifications consists of taking 30-35% reduction following the final reheat.
This is accomplished as follows:
High-tensile forgings, as described in certain military specifications, also require a minimum of 30-35% reduction following the last reheat. This is taken in the following manner:
Cold Forming
Alloy 400 is adaptable to virtually all methods of cold fabrication. The forces required and the rate of work hardening are intermediate between those of mild steel and Type 304 stainless steel.
