Question 1

What is the primary fabrication challenge when machining components from Monel Strips K400?

Accepted Answer

Its main challenge is the fact that it becomes hardened a lot during machining and therefore quickly blunts the cutting tools. To alleviate the effects of this, strips need to be machined in the annealed state at slow speeds and heavy feeds. The process minimizes the heat and ensures that the material does not solidify in front of the tool

Question 2

What specific filler is required for welding Monel Strips K400?

Accepted Answer

The Gas Tungsten Arc Welding or shielded metal arc processes are the best in welding the material. Filler metal, including ERNiCu 7, is normally used in producing the Monel Strips K400 to create a weld joint that could be as strong and chemically resistant as the base material.

Question 3

What key advantage does Monel Strips K400 offer over stainless steel in chloride service?

Accepted Answer

Monel Strips K400 has a high degree of resistance to chloride ion stress corrosion cracking, which is a devastating failure mode in most austenitic stainless steels. This immunity is useful in heat exchanger shells and corrosion vessel linings where there is heat and stress.
