Monel is a nickel-copper alloy with high tensile strength and excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly against hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, and seawater. SRG Fasteners supplies Monel 400 and Monel K500 bolts and nuts.
Monel K500 offers the same corrosion resistance as Monel 400 but with greater strength and hardness due to the addition of aluminum and titanium.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Monel better than Stainless Steel for marine use?
In many cases, yes. Monel is practically immune to chloride ion stress corrosion cracking and is often preferred for subsea pipelines and pump shafts.
