Monel® Alloy K-500

---

Applications

Springs, pumps, valves, and fasteners.

Description

Monel^® 500 is an age-hardenable Nickel-Copper alloy with Aluminum and Titanium added to the base. The addition of Aluminum and Titanium provides high strength and hardness. Monel^® 500 remains ductile, tough, and is nonmagnetic even at lower temperatures. Monel^® 500 is corrosion resistant and can operate from cryogenic temperatures to 450°F (232°C).

Industries Supplied

Oil & Gas Extraction, Marine, Chemical Processing, and Medical.
