Monel alloy is a nickel-copper alloy. The nickel element stabilizes the austenitic structure of the alloy, while the copper element brings excellent room temperature corrosion resistance to the alloy (especially in flowing seawater). For this reason, Monel alloys are often used in marine applications. At the same time, copper metal has good electromagnetic properties, so Monel alloy is also widely used in the electronics industry. This article will introduce the different types of Monel alloys one by one.
Monel alloy type:
Monel 400 is a corrosion resistant alloy with high heat resistance, high ohmic resistance and good corrosion resistance to various non-oxidizing halogens.
Monel 401 is a nickel-based alloy similar to Monel 400, which has a very low Curie temperature, very low magnetic properties and good brazing properties. In terms of processing methods, traditional techniques for iron-based materials are also suitable for Monel 401, such as TIG and MIG techniques. Monel 401 is mainly used in valve stems, pump shafts, impellers, conveyor belt scrapers, oil well drill rings, elastic parts, valve gaskets, etc.
Monel 404 is a corrosion-resistant alloy with excellent comprehensive properties. The alloy has excellent corrosion resistance in hydrofluoric acid and fluorine gas media; in addition, it also has good corrosion resistance against acid and alkali concentration solutions, water, seawater, atmosphere, organic compounds, etc.
Monel R-405 alloy (UNS N04405) is a machinable nickel alloy that has sulfur added to Monel 400 alloy to enhance its machinability.
Monel K-500 has excellent mechanical properties such as high strength, corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties, in addition to the corrosion resistance of Monel 400. This alloy can be used as a pump shaft material and is suitable for use in harsh geological conditions with high sulfur and high wax oil layers.
Since Monel K-500 has no plastic-to-brittle transition temperature, it is ideally suited for use in a variety of cryogenic equipment. It is mainly used in pump shafts, valve stems, conveyor belt scrapers, oil well drill rings, elastic parts, valve gaskets, etc., and is suitable for petroleum, chemical, shipbuilding, pharmaceutical and electronic industries.
