Monel K500 is a nickel-copper alloy (UNS N05500) that combines the excellent corrosion resistance of Monel 400 with added strength and hardness through age-hardening.
🔹 Chemical Composition (Typical %)
| Element | Content |
|---|---|
| Nickel (Ni) | 63.0 min |
| Copper (Cu) | 27.0–33.0 |
| Aluminum (Al) | 2.3–3.15 |
| Titanium (Ti) | 0.35–0.85 |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 2.0 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 1.5 |
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.25 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.01 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.5 |
🔹 Key Characteristics
Excellent corrosion resistance in seawater, chemical, and acidic environments
High strength and hardness (due to precipitation hardening)
Maintains toughness and mechanical properties from sub-zero to ~650 °C
Non-magnetic when annealed; may become slightly magnetic after aging
Good wear and erosion resistance
🔹 Typical Applications
Pump shafts and impellers
Oil & gas production tools
Marine engineering (valves, fasteners, shafts)
Chemical processing equipment
Springs and fasteners exposed to harsh environments
Aerospace components
