Monel® 404 K500 UNS N05500

Strip, Coil, Foil, Wire, QQN286

Applications

Pump components, doctor blades and scrapers, oil well drill collars and cable wrap, marine instruments, electronic components, springs, valve tray, and submarine parts

Description

Monel® K500 (Alloy K500) is a Nickel Copper alloy which combines the excellent corrosion resistance of Alloy 400 with the added advantages of greater strength and hardness. The increase in strength and hardness is a result of the precipitation hardening capability gained by the additions of titanium and aluminum.

Additional Properties

Corrosion Resistance

Refer to NACE (National Associate of Corrosion Engineers) for recommendations.

Finishes

#1 - Hot rolled annealed and descaled. It is available in strip, foil and ribbon. It is used for applications where a smooth decorative finish is not required.
#2D - Dull finish produced by cold rolling, annealing and descaling. Used for deep drawn parts and those parts that need to retain lubricants in the forming process.
#2B - Smooth finish produced by cold rolling, annealing and descaling. A light cold rolling pass is added after anneal with polished rolls giving it a brighter finish than 2D.
#BA- Bright annealed cold rolled and bright annealed
#CBA- Course bright annealed cold rolled matte finish and bright anneal
#2 - Cold Rolled
#2BA- Smooth finish produced by cold rolling and bright annealing. A light pass using highly polished rolls produces a glossy finish. A 2BA finish may be used for lightly formed applications where a glossy finish is desired in the formed part.
Polished - Various grit finish for specific polish finished requirements.
* Not all finishes are available for all alloys - Contact Ulbrich Sales for more information.

Wire Finishes

XC - Extra Clean Bright Annealed or Bright Annealed and Cold Rolled Grease - Ultra bright finish (for decorative applications)
Soap - Soap coating on tempered wire to act as lubricant
* Contact Ulbrich Wire for custom finishes.

Heat Treatment

Monel® KSOO (Alloy KSOO) can be hardened by cold working and by heat treating.
