Nickel-Copper Superalloy

Monel® 400 / K500

Monel is a high-performance nickel-copper alloy series known for its exceptional strength and corrosion resistance in a wide range of media. From high-velocity seawater to volatile hydrofluoric acid, Monel remains the industry standard for marine engineering and chemical processing.

Seawater Corrosion Proof
Marine Grade Excellence
Non-Magnetic Options
Marine Stability

Monel alloys exhibit a low corrosion rate in flowing seawater and excellent resistance to stress-corrosion cracking in most freshwaters. While Monel 400 is the versatile workhorse, Monel K500 is age-hardened to provide significantly higher strength and hardness for heavy-duty shafts.

  • Resistance to Hydrofluoric Acid
  • High Strength Sub-Zero to 480°C
  • Toughness in High-Velocity Water

Key Features

  • Excellent Seawater Durability: Exhibits a remarkably low corrosion rate in high-velocity seawater and brackish water, remaining immune to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking.
  • Hydrofluoric Acid Resistance: One of the few metallic materials capable of handling all concentrations of hydrofluoric acid up to the boiling point, making it critical for alkylation units.
  • High Mechanical Strength (K500): While Monel 400 is versatile, the age-hardened K500 variant provides triple the yield strength, ideal for heavy-duty marine shafts and valve internals.
  • Cryogenic Toughness: Maintains excellent mechanical properties at sub-zero temperatures. Unlike many steels, Monel does not undergo a ductile-to-brittle transition.
