Monel K-500

Material overview

Monel K-500 is included in the Nickel-Based Alloys catalog. Age-hardenable nickel-copper alloy combining Monel 400 corrosion resistance with much higher strength. Key characteristics for evaluation include About twice the tensile strength of Monel 400 after aging and good fatigue and corrosion-fatigue resistance. Typical applications include Pump shafts, impellers, marine fasteners, valve trim, oilwell drill collars and instruments, and springs. The dataset currently includes 13 property records covering chemical composition, mechanical properties, and physical properties. Associated standards include B164 and GB/T 15007, and product form records cover Bar / Rod and Forged Product. Final chemistry, mechanical properties, heat treatment, dimensions, inspection, and documentation must be confirmed against the applicable specification and mill certificate.
