Monel K500
Monel K500 is used in diverse industries, including marine, oil and gas, chemical processing, and aerospace. Its combination of corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and adaptability to temperature variations, as well as its fatigue resistance, makes it a reliable choice for critical applications where durability and longevity are essential.
MONEL K500 is a age-hardenable Nickel-Copper alloy which combines the corrosion resistance of Alloy 400 with high strength corrosion fatigue and erosion resistance.
Monel K500 is a nickel-copper alloy, precipitation hardenable through additions of aluminum and titanium. Monel K500 retains the excellent corrosion resistant characteristics of 400 and has enhanced strength and hardness after precipitation hardening when compared with 400. Alloy K500 has approximately three (3) times the yield strength and double the tensile strength when compared with 400. MONEL K500 can be further strengthened by cold working before the precipitation hardening.
- Material Grade: Monel K500, a nickel-copper alloy with specific composition percentages of nickel, copper, and minor elements.
- Corrosion Resistance: Monel K500 offers exceptional resistance to corrosion in various environments, including seawater, acids, and alkalis. It is particularly suitable for applications where corrosion is a concern.
- Mechanical Properties: Specifications for tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation ensure the material’s mechanical reliability, especially in demanding conditions.
- Temperature Range: Monel K500 can maintain its properties across a wide range of temperatures, making it suitable for both low and elevated-temperature applications.
- Fatigue Resistance: Known for excellent fatigue resistance, making it suitable for applications with cyclic stress or repetitive loading.
- Magnetic Permeability: Monel K500 has low magnetic permeability, making it suitable for applications where magnetic interference needs to be minimized.
- Standards: Compliance with industry standards, often specified under ASTM B865 for Monel K500, ensures consistent quality and performance.

Differences between Monel and Hastelloy:
Monel and Hastelloy are two different types of nickel-copper alloys. Monel is more corrosion resistant, but it is less heat-conductive. It also has a lower melting point. This makes it perfect for high-temperature uses such as stove tops and gas pipes. But if you want a material with a higher melting point, you would be better off choosing Hastelloy because it can withstand very high temperatures without losing any strength or corrosion resistance. Monel is a nickel-copper alloy that resists corrosion in acidic environments. It can be used in piping, valves, and other fluid transfer components.
Monel parts are also good for use in high-temperature applications. Hastelloy is an alloy of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. It provides the right mix of both tensile strength and corrosion resistance for most industrial applications. Monel is a family of iron-nickel alloys containing nickel and copper, called cupronickel. Monel metal is nonmagnetic and resistant to corrosion in seawater. Hastelloy is a family of nickel-based superalloys, with a percentage of cobalt, titanium, iron, and molybdenum making up the composition. Hastelloy has a much higher nickel content than Monel. Monel is a nickel-copper alloy, and Hastelloy is a series of alloys containing nickel and several other metals. Monel has a low voltage coefficient and is resistant to most corrosive environments. Whereas Hastelloy is designed for applications in high-temperature, oxidizing environments.
