Monel Alloy

Monel alloy (Monel alloy) is a nickel-based alloy that usually contains 75% nickel, 25% to 23.5% copper, and a small amount of iron 1% to 1.5%. Also known as Monel alloy or monel metal, this alloy is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and high strength. The corrosion resistance of monel alloys is particularly outstanding, being able to withstand a wide range of media, including fast-flowing seawater, which has led to its use in aerospace, marine engineering. chemical industry, etc. .

With a history dating back to 1901, Monel alloys can be processed by hot-working, cold-working, machining and welding, and are superior to pure nickel and 5-10 times more expensive than pure copper and nickel. Their performance is superior to pure nickel and they are 5 to 10 times more expensive than pure copper and nickel, so they are only used in applications where cheaper alternatives are not available.

In addition, Monel is a solid solution binary alloy, which is also a single phase alloy due to the solid solution of nickel and copper. The excellent properties of this alloy make it the material of choice for many high-end applications
