Monel® K-500 is an age-hardened nickel-copper alloy used in several industries and products. This alloy has good corrosion resistance and high strength. Monel® K-500 can withstand sub-zero environments and is non-magnetic. A few industries that utilize this alloy include:
- Marine
- Chemical processing
- Food processing
- Pharmaceutical
When compared to alloy 400, K-500 has significantly more yield strength and tensile strength. Cold working gives K-500 even more strength. A few end products that incorporate K-500 are:
- Pumps and valves
- Electronic components
- Springs
- Cables
