Monel K-500 Tube

UNS N05500

Other common names: Alloy K500

Shanghai Yikai Metal Products Co., Ltd can supply Monel K500 alloy according to customers requirements. Monel K500 is a precipitation-hardenable nickel-copper alloy that combines the excellent corrosion resistance characteristic of Monel 400 with the added advantage of greater strength and hardness. These amplified properties, strength and hardness, are obtained by adding aluminum and titanium to the nickel-copper base and by a thermal processing used to effect precipitation, typically called age hardening or aging. When in the age-hardened condition, Monel K-500 has a greater tendency toward stress-corrosion cracking in some environments than Monel 400. Alloy K-500 has approximately three times the yield strength and double the tensile strength when compared with alloy 400. Plus, it can be further strengthened by cold working prior to precipitation hardening. The strength of this nickel steel alloy is maintained to 1200 Fahrenheit degree but stays ductile and tough down to temperatures of 400 Fahrenheit degree. Its melting range is 2400-2460 Fahrenheit degree.

This nickel alloy is spark resistant and non-magnetic to -200 Fahrenheit degree. However, it is possible to develop a magnetic layer on the surface of the material during processing. Aluminum and copper may be selectively oxidized during heating, leaving a magnetic nickel rich film on the outside. Pickling orbright dipping in acid can remove this magnetic film and restore the non-magnetic properties.
