Monel K500 (UNS N05500) is an age-hardenable nickel-copper alloy that offers the corrosion resistance of Monel 400 combined with significantly greater strength and hardness. This is achieved through the addition of aluminum and titanium followed by a thermal aging process. Zeron Fastners supplies Monel K500 fasteners and components where extremely high tensile properties, non-magnetic characteristics, and compliance with NACE MR0175 (sour gas resistance) are required.
| Key Characteristic | Benefit | Primary Application |
|---|---|---|
| Age Hardened Strength | High Tensile & Yield Strength | Deep Well Drilling, Pump Shafts |
| Non-Magnetic | Retained down to -101°C | Sensitive Instrumentation, Aerospace |
| Sour Gas Resistance | NACE MR0175 Compliant (SSCC Resistance) | Oil & Gas Production (Downhole) |
