Monel

Monel refers to a group of nickel alloys characterised by the presence of nickel as the primary component along with copper and other elements. When the copper content surpasses that of nickel, the alloy is termed cupronickel. Typically, Monel consists of 52 to 67% nickel, rendering it stronger than pure nickel. The material can be formed through hot rolling or cold drawing, with cold-drawn products exhibiting precision in dimensions and hot-rolled ones possessing greater strength. Notably resistant to the rapid flow of seawater, Monel is particularly well-suited for marine applications. It is easily weldable, machinable, and amenable to cold working. The Monel price per kg varies based on the grade and specific product, and a detailed price list can be obtained by contacting us. Various Monel metal grades are available in the market, each featuring distinct compositions, mechanical properties, and applications. Designated by letters and numbers, grades like Alloy 400, 401, 404, 405, 450, K-500, R-405, and 502 serve specific purposes. The Monel alloy’s chemical composition differs among grades. Alloy 400, for instance, boasts high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, finding applications in hydrocarbon processing, marine contexts, and heat exchangers. Alloy 401 is particularly utilised in electric and electronic applications with compatible brazing properties. Alloy 404, known for low permeability, is employed in electrical and electronic applications, while Alloy 405, despite a less smooth surface finish due to increased sulphur content, is robust and used in automatic screw machines. The applications of Monel alloy vary depending on the specific grades, with R-405, for example, being highly resistant to hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acids in special applications.
