Question 1

What is the most significant challenge when coiling or fabricating Monel Coils?

Accepted Answer

High rate of work hardening by Monel is the greatest challenge in the forming process. This property enhances the strength of the metal rapidly thus making it challenging to be bent or shaped in the future. To avoid early wear and cracking of tools they need proper tooling and slow processing speed.

Question 2

Is a Monel Coil non magnetic, and why is this critical for some applications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Monel coils are generally non magnetic which also holds even at the very low, cryogenic temperatures. This is essential to electronic parts, gauges and oil well logging equipment, in which magnetic interference is not allowed. It guarantees precision and integrity of systems in sensitive locations.

Question 3

What is the primary trade off when selecting Monel Coils over stainless steel Coils?

Accepted Answer

The main trade off is the monel material cost is very expensive because it contains a lot of nickel and copper. To trade this price Monel coils will offer much better resistance to fast moving sea water and to certain corrosive acids. Monel is hence used only in situations where stainless steel would prematurely fail in critical situations.
