MONEL
MATERIAL
OVERVIEW
Characteristics:
Monel is a high tensile strength nickel-copper alloy
that was discovered in 1905. It was found to be highly
resistant to atmospheric corrosion, salt water, and
various acid and alkaline solutions. Alloy 400 can be
magnetic depending upon composition and previous work
history. Alloy K-500 has added aluminum and titanium
for age hardening. It is totally nonmagnetic and spark
resistant.
Uses:
K-500 is used for gyroscope application and anchor
cable aboard minesweepers. It is also used for
propeller shafts on a wide variety of vessels and
exhibits high fatigue strength in seawater. There is
also application in chemical process applications for
handling of organic acids, caustic and dry chlorine.
Monel
400 is used for marine engineering, chemical and
hydrocarbon processing equipment, valves, pumps,
shafts, fittings, fasteners, and heat exchangers.
