should i choose monel 400 or monel k-500? which scenes are they used in?
if you have the same confusion, you must read this article. it will let you understand all the same and different between monel 400 and monel k-500.
monel 400
monel® nickel-copper alloy 400 (uns n04400 / w.nr. 2.4360 and 2.4361) is a solid-solution alloy that can be hardened only by cold working. it has high strength and toughness over a wide temperature rangeand excellent resistance to many corrosive environments.
monel k-500
monel® alloy k-500 (uns n05500 / w.nr. 2.4375) is a nickel-copper alloy which combines the excellent corrosion resistance of monel alloy 400 with the added advantages of greater strength and hardness. the increased properties are obtained by adding aluminum and titanium to the nickel-copper base.
