Nickel Alloy
Monel metal is a nickel alloy metal having a trademark type, it contains copper as it primary alloying element. It also contains small amounts of aluminium, carbon, iron manganese, silicon, sulphur, and titanium, these portions could vary depending on its intended applications.
Monel alloys gives high strength features towards resistance in corrosion be it saltwater or freshwater. It is also resistant to high and low temperatures and this feature plays an advantage in working in challenging environments. It is known as a super alloy due to the following such reasons.
Monel alloy characteristics
- Compared to steel, Monel is stronger
- Monel has good resistance towards corrosion
- Has a great Malleability to ma variety of shapes
- Has an ability to maintain its strength in sub-zero temperature.
- Low coefficient of thermal expansion
- High alkalis resistance
- Can be worked around by brazed, welded, and soldered
Monel Grades
There are three commercial grades available in general, each of these grades having its own distinct features.
- Monel K-500: features are of an enhanced strength and hardness due to its higher titanium and aluminum composition.
- Monel R405: This grade has similar features to Monel 400, R-405 on the other side has a higher sulphur content making it friendlier with machines.
- Monel 400: This alloy is used in Aerospace, Chemical Processing Plants, Marine Engineering, it feature give it the characteristics to resist attacks from strong acids and seawater.
Monel and its Benefits
The features surrounding Monel makes it the most preferred and suited material in challenging environments. Such as aerospace industry since it is most suitable for withstanding high pressure and heat combustion chambers.
Certain Monel alloys, such as Monel 400 have the capacity in retaining their strength and shape even if exposed to temperatures up to 1300 °C.
