Corrosion Resistant Monel K500 Grade 400 Filter Wire Mesh for Marine and Seawater Use
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory – a trusted manufacturer with over 25 years of experience in producing high-quality wire mesh products. Our Corrosion Resistant Monel K500 Grade 400 Filter Wire Mesh is specifically engineered for demanding marine and seawater environments. Made from premium Monel K500 alloy, this filter mesh offers exceptional resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking, pitting, and crevice attack, making it an ideal choice for offshore platforms, desalination plants, and shipbuilding applications. With our factory-direct pricing and global export network, we deliver reliable performance and long service life.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Monel K500 (UNS N05500) contains approximately 65% nickel, 30% copper, plus small amounts of aluminum and titanium. This composition provides outstanding resistance to seawater, acidic environments, and high-velocity flow.
- High Strength & Durability: Age-hardened Monel K500 offers tensile strength up to 1100 MPa, significantly higher than Monel 400, ensuring the mesh withstands mechanical stress and vibration in harsh marine conditions.
- Precise Filtration Performance: Grade 400 mesh (400 openings per linear inch) provides a nominal particle retention size of approximately 37 microns, suitable for fine filtration of seawater intake, hydraulic fluids, and chemical processing.
- Customizable Weave Patterns: Available in plain weave for standard filtration or twill weave for increased strength and finer filtration. The mesh can be supplied in rolls, sheets, or pre-cut panels per your specifications.
- Wide Temperature Range: Monel K500 maintains its mechanical properties from cryogenic temperatures up to 600°C, making it suitable for both cold seawater and hot process streams.
- Low Maintenance & Long Service Life: The alloy's inherent resistance to biofouling and erosion reduces cleaning frequency and replacement costs, offering excellent total cost of ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between Monel K500 and Monel 400?
A: Monel K500 is an age-hardened version of Monel 400, offering higher strength (up to 30% stronger) and improved hardness, while retaining excellent corrosion resistance. It is preferred for applications requiring mechanical durability. -
Q: Can this mesh be used for reverse osmosis pre-filtration?
A: Yes, Grade 400 mesh (37 micron) is suitable as a pre-filter for RO systems to remove larger particles, protecting the RO membranes. However, for finer filtration, alternative mesh sizes can be customized. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for custom orders?
A: For standard widths and lengths, lead time is 10–15 working days. Custom sizes or special weaves may require 20–25 working days, depending on order quantity. -
Q: Do you provide samples for testing?
A: Yes, we can provide small sample rolls (e.g., 0.1m x 0.1m) for evaluation. Sample cost is refundable with bulk orders. Please contact our sales team for details. -
Q: How is the mesh packaged to prevent corrosion during shipping?
A: The mesh is first wrapped in anti-corrosion VCI paper, then sealed in a plastic bag, and finally packed in a wooden crate or pallet. For sea freight, we add additional desiccant and moisture-proof layers. -
Q: Can you cut the mesh into specific shapes (e.g., circles, rectangles)?
A: Absolutely. We offer laser cutting and die-cutting services for custom shapes. Please provide a drawing or CAD file for accurate fabrication. -
Q: Is this product suitable for use in potable water systems?
A: Monel K500 is considered safe for potable water contact; however, we recommend checking local regulations (e.g., NSF/ANSI 61) for compliance. Additional surface treatment can be applied if required. -
Q: What is the maximum temperature this mesh can withstand in continuous service?
A: In continuous service, Monel K500 can operate up to 600°C (1112°F) in oxidizing conditions. For intermittent exposure, higher temperatures may be tolerated. Always consult with our technical team for your specific process conditions.
