• Monel 400 offers excellent corrosion resistance with a balanced blend of moderate strength and high ductility. Its chemical makeup (about 63% Ni and 28–34% Cu) makes it ideal for marine and chemical processing environments, with good weldability and workability.
• Monel K500, while sharing a similar base composition,it is enhanced with Al and Ti to achieve precipitation hardening. This results in significantly higher yield and tensile strength and superior performance at elevated temperature, though it demands more controlled processing and welding techniques.
Choosing the right alloy depends on the specific demands of your application from corrosion resistance to mechanical performance and fabrication requirements.
