Monel K-500

Description

Monel K-500 is a age-hardenable Nickel-Copper alloy which combines the corrosion resistance of Alloy 400 with high strength corrosion fatigue and erosion resistance. It 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. The alloy can be further strengthened by cold working before the precipitation hardening.
