Monel K500, also known as UNS N05500 or W.Nr. 2.43751.
Monel K500 is a precipitation-hardenable alloy, combining the excellent corrosion resistance of Monel alloy 400 with increased strength and hardness.
The alloy achieves these properties by adding aluminum and titanium to the nickel-copper base and undergoing controlled age hardening.
Characteristics of Monel K500:
Corrosion Resistance: Monel K500 exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in various environments, including marine and chemical settings.
Mechanical Properties: It maintains its mechanical strength even at sub-zero temperatures and up to approximately 480°C.
Non-Magnetic: Monel K500 is non-magnetic, making it suitable for applications where magnetic interference is a concern.
Industries Using Monel K500:
Marine: Chains, cables, propeller shafts, and other components for marine service.
Chemical Processing: Pump and valve components, as well as other equipment in chemical plants.
Pulp and Paper Production: Doctor blades, scrapers, and other parts.
Oil and Gas: Drill collars, pump shafts, impellers, non-magnetic housings, safety lifts, and valves.
Electronics: Sensors and other electronic components
