Monel 400 Round Rod Monel K-500 Nickel-Copper Alloy Round Bar

Product Overview

Introducing our high - quality Monel 400 Round Rod and Monel K - 500 Nickel - Copper Alloy Round Bar, the ideal materials for a wide range of industrial applications. These round bars are crafted with precision to meet the most demanding requirements across various sectors.

Material Composition

• Monel 400 Round Rod: This rod is composed of a nickel - copper alloy with approximately 63% nickel and 28 - 34% copper. It also contains small amounts of iron, manganese, carbon, and silicon. The unique combination of these elements gives Monel 400 excellent corrosion resistance in a variety of environments, including seawater, hydrofluoric acid, and alkaline solutions.

• Monel K - 500 Nickel - Copper Alloy Round Bar: Monel K - 500 is a precipitation - hardenable version of Monel 400. In addition to the nickel and copper content similar to Monel 400, it has aluminum and titanium added. These alloying elements allow for age - hardening heat treatments, which significantly increase the alloy's strength and hardness while maintaining its corrosion - resistant properties.

Manufacturing Standards

Our Monel 400 Round Rod and Monel K - 500 Round Bar are manufactured in strict accordance with ASTM/ASME standards. This ensures that the products meet the highest quality and performance requirements in the industry. The compliance with these standards also guarantees consistency in terms of dimensions, chemical composition, and mechanical properties, providing customers with reliable and predictable results.

Key Features

• Corrosion Resistance: Both Monel 400 and Monel K - 500 offer outstanding corrosion resistance. Monel 400 can withstand the corrosive effects of seawater, making it a popular choice for marine applications such as pumps, valves, and propeller shafts. Monel K - 500, with its enhanced strength, is also highly resistant to corrosion in harsh environments, ensuring long - term durability.

• High Strength: Monel K - 500, after age - hardening, exhibits high tensile and yield strength. This makes it suitable for applications where high mechanical stress is involved, such as in the aerospace and defense industries. Monel 400 also has good strength properties, providing reliable performance in various structural applications.

• Good Weldability: These round bars can be easily welded using common welding methods such as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). This feature allows for easy fabrication and assembly, reducing production time and costs.

• Non - Magnetic Properties: Both alloys are non - magnetic, which is an important characteristic in applications where magnetic interference needs to be avoided, such as in electronic devices and some medical equipment.

Applications

• Aviation: In the aviation industry, Monel 400 and Monel K - 500 round bars are used in components such as fasteners, springs, and hydraulic tubing. Their high strength, corrosion resistance, and non - magnetic properties make them suitable for use in aircraft engines and airframes.

• Electronics: The non - magnetic nature and good electrical conductivity of these alloys make them ideal for use in electronic connectors, switches, and other components. They can also be used in shielding applications to protect sensitive electronic equipment from electromagnetic interference.

• Industrial: In industrial settings, these round bars are used in chemical processing equipment, heat exchangers, and piping systems. Their corrosion resistance ensures that they can withstand the harsh chemicals and high - temperature environments commonly found in industrial processes.

• Medical: The biocompatibility and corrosion resistance of Monel 400 and Monel K - 500 make them suitable for use in medical devices such as surgical instruments and implants. They can also be used in medical equipment manufacturing, where reliability and durability are crucial.

• Chemical: In the chemical industry, these round bars are used in reactors, storage tanks, and valves. Their ability to resist corrosion from a wide range of chemicals makes them a reliable choice for handling corrosive substances.
