Monel Mechanical Properties

Monel alloy has no plastic-brittle transition temperature, so it is very suitable for manufacturing various low-temperature equipment. Welding can improve the strength of the alloy, but reduce the plasticity of the alloy. Therefore, in order to maintain high plasticity, Monel K500 alloy needs heat treatment after welding.
Applications
This alloy has comprehensive properties of toughness and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in chemical and other industries. For example, it is used to manufacture heaters, heat exchangers, evaporators, distillation kettles, distillation towers, condensers for fatty acid treatment, equipment for processing rosin kiosk acid, chemical pumps, etc. Because the alloy also has high strength and good oxidation resistance at high temperatures, it can also be used in the heat treatment industry to manufacture various structural parts. In the nuclear power industry, the alloy has good corrosion resistance to high temperature and high pressure water, so it is also an important structural material for light water reactor nuclear power plants. Products include plates, rods, wires, belts, and pipes.
