Monel
Monel is a family of nickel-copper alloys known for their excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical strength.
Monel 400
- Composition: ~67% Ni, 28–30% Cu, small amounts of Fe, Mn, C
- Properties: Excellent corrosion resistance in seawater and chemical environments, good mechanical strength
2. Monel K-500
- Composition: Similar to Monel 400, but with aluminum and titanium additions
- Properties: Higher strength and hardness due to age-hardening capability, retains corrosion resistance
3. Monel R-405
- Composition: Modified version for improved corrosion resistance in acidic environments
- Properties: Resistant to stress corrosion cracking and high-temperature corrosion
