Monel® K500 (UNS N05500)

Nickel-Copper Alloy


Monel® K500 Nickel Alloy

Monel® K500 offers all the benefits of MonelĀ®400 but with greater strength and hardness.



Performance

The mechanical properties of the alloy are 3 to 4 times greater, achieved in part due to the inclusion of aluminium and titanium during the alloying process, which makes the material age-hardenable. Monel® K500 also offers the same, excellent corrosion-resistant qualities.



Delivery Condition

The delivery condition of the alloy includes annealed, age-hardened, hot-finished, or stress equalised. The product provides very high strength and hardness and high tensile properties up to 650°C (1200°F) after age-hardening. Good fatigue and corrosion fatigue resistance are also achievable after age-hardening.



Typical Applications

Commercial applications for this engineering material include:

  • Fasteners and springs
  • Pump and valve components
  • Oil well drill collars
  • Impellers
  • Marine engineering applications

We stock Monel® K500 in round bar and round tube.

Our knowledgeable staff and resident metallurgists will be pleased to assist you further on any technical topic. Smiths Metal Centres Limited also boasts an in-house UKAS Accredited Testing Laboratory which is unique within the multi-metal and plastic stockholding sector.
