Monel® Alloy 400

Applications

Valves, pumps, seals, springs, and heat exchangers.

Description

Monel^® 400 is a Nickel-Copper alloy with high strength and toughness and remains ductile even at subzero temperatures. Age-hardening treatments are not required to obtain the high strength properties of Monel^® 400 because it is a solid-solution alloy that is hardened only through cold working. Monel^® 400 is resistant to corrosion in many reducing environments, offering excellent corrosion resistance in seawater, hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid. Monel^® 400 also shows resistance to stress corrosion cracking and pitting in fresh water, is resistant to oxidization and can operate from cryogenic temperatures to 500°F (260°C).
