Specifications

Product Details:

Monel 500, also known as Monel K-500, is a nickel-copper alloy renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance, high strength, and durability. Here's a detailed description of Monel 500 round bars:

1. Composition: Monel 500 consists primarily of nickel (approx. 63%) and copper (approx. 30%), with additions of small amounts of iron, manganese, silicon, and carbon. Additionally, it may contain traces of other elements to enhance specific properties.

2. Corrosion Resistance: Monel 500 exhibits outstanding resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments, including seawater, acids, alkalis, and various chemical solutions. This resistance makes it suitable for marine applications, chemical processing, and oil and gas industries.

3. High Strength and Toughness: Monel 500 maintains its mechanical properties over a broad temperature range, offering high strength and toughness even at elevated temperatures. This characteristic makes it suitable for applications requiring structural integrity under demanding conditions.

4. Excellent Weldability: Monel 500 can be welded using various techniques, including gas-tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). Proper welding procedures should be followed to maintain the alloy's corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.

5. Applications: Monel 500 round bars find use in a wide range of applications, including:

   • Marine hardware such as shafts, propeller shafts, and valves due to its resistance to seawater corrosion.
   • Pump and valve components in chemical processing industries where resistance to acidic and alkaline environments is essential.
   • Fasteners, springs, and bolts subjected to high stress and corrosive conditions.
   • Oil and gas industry equipment, including pump shafts, valve stems, and drill collars.

6. Surface Finish: Monel 500 round bars are available in various surface finishes, including polished, turned, ground, and rough-turned, depending on the application requirements.

7. Customization: Monel 500 round bars can be custom-manufactured to meet specific dimensional and mechanical property requirements. Custom sizes, lengths, and tolerances are available to suit different applications.

8. Standards and Specifications: Monel 500 round bars are manufactured in accordance with industry standards such as ASTM B865 and AMS 4676, ensuring quality and consistenc
