Properties of Monel® Forgings
Monel® refers to a trademarked class of stainless, rust-resistant metals which are primarily a combination of nickel and copper.
Philadelphia Forgings offers several types of Monel® which include:
- MONEL® 400. Resistant to a variety of corrosive media, including salt water and concentrated acids, Monel® 400 forgings exhibit good ductility and tensile strength.
- MONEL® 500. Containing aluminum and titanium for increased strength and toughness, Monel® K 500 forgings are age hardenable, and able to provide high fatigue and wear resistance.
Because of its excellent corrosion resistant characteristics in the presence of salt water, acids, alkalines (bases), and a variety of other caustic media, Monel® forgings are often used in marine applications or chemical processing operations. Monel® K 500 can be forged into propeller shafts for various types of watercraft as well as seawater pump shafts and impellers. Products forged from Monel® K 500 are found in the storage, transport, and processing equipment for organic acids as well as dry or caustic chloride. Monel® 400 forgings are often found in marine applications as pipes, valves, pump shafts, fittings, and fasteners, or as heat exchangers for the power generation industry as well as other industries. They are especially valuable for the processing of chemicals and hydrocarbons.
