Hangbo Alloy Group supplies a comprehensive range of MONEL K500 alloy products, including round bars, plates, strips, seamless tubes, forgings, and wires. Below is a detailed product description of MONEL K500.
1. Introduction to MONEL K500
Description: MONEL K500 (UNS N05500) is a nickel-copper alloy known for combining the corrosion resistance of MONEL 400 with increased strength and hardness due to added aluminum and titanium, which allow for age-hardening. MONEL K500 maintains durability and corrosion resistance across a wide range of temperatures.

4. Physical Properties of MONEL K500
5. Material Characteristics of MONEL K500
Corrosion Resistance: Exceptional resistance to seawater, sour gas, and acidic and alkaline environments. MONEL K500 is also highly resistant to cavitation and stress corrosion.
High Strength: Precipitation-hardened, MONEL K500 is substantially stronger than MONEL 400, making it suitable for high-stress applications.
Temperature Stability: Maintains strength and toughness from cryogenic temperatures up to around 480 °C.
Non-Magnetic: Retains non-magnetic properties, even after prolonged use in sub-zero conditions.
6. Applications of MONEL K500
Marine Engineering: Used in shafts, pump and valve components, and propeller blades in seawater systems.
Oil and Gas Industry: Ideal for sour gas applications, valve trim, and other high-strength applications in challenging environments.
Chemical Processing: Employed in corrosive applications, such as heat exchangers and processing equipment.
Aerospace: Components requiring high strength and durability, including landing gear and turbine blades.
Medical Equipment: Parts that need high resistance to corrosion and non-magnetic properties.
