monel
Monel alloy 400 is the basic nickel-copper alloy, widely used where superior corrosion resistance and moderate high or low temperature properties are needed. Notched-bar impact test shows Monel 400 is very tough. Monel 400 has structural strength, yet ductile, and excellent corrosion resistance in most environments. Conventional shop working practices can be used to fabricate Monel 400.
Typical Uses: For the chemical, electrical and marine field as acid and alkali tanks, heat exchangers, diaphragms, connectors, valves, pump shafting and hardware.

Cold forming requires forces between those mild steel aned AISI T304. Hot forming is readily accomplished within the range of 1200-2150°F.
Monel alloy 400 can be easily welded, in all positions, using Monel 190 electrodes. For submerged arc, MIG and TIG welding, use Monel 60 filler wire.

Monel alloy is an age hardenable nickel-copper alloy which combines the excellent corrosion resistance of Monel 400 with the added advantage of greater strength and hardness. This alloy is non-magnetic to -150° Farenheit. Uses include chemical and marine shafts and equipment, valve seats, guides, springs, gears, and pulp scraper (Doctor) blades and fasteners.
