Monel Fasteners

Monel 400 is a solid solution nickel-copper alloy (63-70 per cent Ni, 28-34 per cent Cu) which has an outstanding corrosion resistance and toughs which has made it suitable in marine applications, chemical applications as well as in off-shore application. Monel K-500 is however different in that it preserves Monel 400 corrosion resistance and contains additional titanium and aluminum. These factors enable its being made age-hardened, and it provides an incredibly larger strength in tension, as well as hardness, qualities that are perfect in high-sustaining parts such as pump shafts and also the oil-well drilling collars

Monel fasteners are usually more expensive than standard stainless steel (e.g. 304, or 316). This is premium because Monel contains so much nickel and copper, and also has special corrosion resistance and mechanical characteristics. However, on a lifetime cost basis Monel fasteners have frequently provided a better pay-back relative to the initial out-lay when consideration is given to their durability in severely challenging environments (maritime, chemical, oil and gas, etc.).

Yes, Monel fasteners can withstand elevated temperatures up to 480°C, making them ideal for heat-intensive environments like power plants, chemical units, and marine exhaust systems.
