Monel K500 is an age-hardenable Nickel-Copper alloy which combines the corrosion resistance of Alloy 400 with high strength corrosion fatigue and erosion resistance.
Monel K500 is a nickel-copper alloy, precipitation hardenable through additions of aluminum and titanium. It retains the excellent corrosion resistant characteristics of 400 and has enhanced strength and hardness after precipitation hardening when compared with 400. It has approximately three times the yield strength and double the tensile strength when compared with 400. It can be further strengthened by cold working before the precipitation hardening.
Monel K500 Product Overview
Fastener Solutions carries a wide range of products that are constructed from advanced quality monel K500 nickel-copper alloy. These fastener products will stand the test of time and can be used for numerous types of applications. Some of the products that we stock in this alloy, include:
- Socket head cap screws
- Hex bolts
- Nuts
- And more
Characteristics
- Excellent mechanical properties from sub-zero temperatures up to about 480C.
- Corrosion resistance in an extensive range of marine and chemical environments. From pure water to non-oxidizing mineral acids, salts, and alkalis.
Applications
- Propeller and pump shafts.
- Pumps and valves used in the manufacture of perchlorethylene, chlorinated plastics.
Typical application for Monel K500 nails and more, which takes advantage of high strength and corrosion resistance are pump shafts, impellers, propeller shafts, valve components for ships and offshore drilling towers, bolting, oil well drill collars and instrumentation components for oil and gas production. It is particularly well suited for centrifugal pumps in the marine industry because of its high strength and low corrosion rates in high-velocity seawater. Monel 500 fasteners are non-magnetic and should be annealed when welded.
Chemistry
Approximately 65% nickel, 30% copper, 3% aluminum.
