Nickel Alloy Monel 400

  • Nickel Alloy Monel 400
  • General Characteristics

    Alloy 400 is MONEL nickel-copper is a solid-solution alloy that can be hardened only by cold working. It has high strength and toughness over a wide temperature range and excellent resistance to many corrosive environments. Alloy 400 is widely used in many fields, especially marine and chemical processing. Typical applications are valves and pumps; pump and propeller shafts; marine fixtures and fasteners; electrical and electronic components; springs; chemical processing equipment; gasoline and fresh water tanks; crude petroleum stills, process vessels and piping; boiler feed-water heaters and other heat exchangers; and deaerating heaters.
