Monel K500 : A High-Performance Nickel-Copper Alloy

    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.

    Core Advantages of Monel K500

    Monel K500 is precipitation hardened. It has excellent structural strength. This increases the reliability of the parts.

    The alloy is easy to machine. It reduces production costs and saves time. In addition, the machining quality is higher.

    Monel K500 can withstand dynamic loads. It extends equipment life. Customers get more consistent performance.

    This material resists frictional wear. It reduces the frequency of equipment maintenance. As a result, the cost of use is lower.

    Monel K500 has the same corrosion resistance as Monel 400. In addition, it is resistant to acidic atmospheres.

    Applications of Monel K500

    • Marine Service: Chains, cables, fasteners, and springs.
    • Chemical Processing: Pump and valve components.
    • Paper Production: Blades and scrapers for pulp processing.
    • Oil and Gas: Drill tools, pump shafts, and impellers.
    • Électronique: Sensors and other components.

    Traitement thermique

    Monel K500 is an age-hardened upgrade of Monel 400, delivering greater strength and hardness. Heat treatment enhances its mechanical properties further. Solution treatment (annealing) dissolves precipitates and restores a single-phase structure. Additionally, stress-relief annealing reduces residual stresses, preventing stress corrosion cracking.

    Material Standards for Monel K500

    • UNS No. N05500
    • Werkstoff number: 2.4375
    • ASTM Standard: B865
    • DIN Standard: 17750, 17752, 17753, 17754
    • ISO Standard: 6208
    • BS Standard: 3072NA18, 3073NA18, 3075NA18, 3076NA18

    Processing and Handling

    It uses heating for hot forming or stress relief. Hot forming occurs between 1600°F and 2100°F. In cold forming, the annealed state offers excellent ductility, though cold working increases hardness.
    It machines easily when annealed or heat-treated. Age-hardened material works best for finishing. For welding, use gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) with Monel 60 filler metal.
