Monel K500 (UNS N05500) is an age-hardenable nickel-copper alloy performing well across a wide temperature range. It maintains low magnetic permeability and excellent non-magnetic properties, even at subzero temperatures. Compared to Monel 400, it offers similar corrosion resistance but boasts higher strength and hardness. Additionally, adding aluminum and titanium, followed by controlled heating, significantly boosts its properties.
