Monel 406 Alloy: High-Strength Nickel-Copper Alloy With Superior
Corrosion Resistance
Monel 406 Alloy: Product Description
Monel 406 is a high-performance nickel-copper alloy renowned for
its exceptional strength and corrosion resistance. Composed
primarily of 63% nickel and 31% copper, with minor additions of
iron (up to 2.5%), manganese (up to 1.5%), and titanium
(0.35-0.85%), this alloy is designed for demanding applications
requiring both durability and resistance to aggressive
environments.
Key Features:
- Composition: The alloy’s high nickel and copper content delivers outstanding
corrosion resistance, particularly in marine environments and harsh
chemical conditions.
- Strength and Hardness: Monel 406 boasts a tensile strength of approximately 760 MPa (110
ksi) and a yield strength of around 310 MPa (45 ksi), along with a
Rockwell C hardness of 35. These properties make it suitable for
high-stress applications.
- Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to seawater, brine, and various chemicals,
making it ideal for use in marine, chemical processing, and
aerospace industries.
- Temperature Performance: Maintains strength and mechanical properties at elevated
temperatures, providing reliability in high-temperature
applications.
- Applications: Commonly used in marine hardware, aerospace components, and
industrial equipment that require both high strength and resistance
to corrosion.
Monel 406's robust mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties
make it an optimal choice for applications where durability and
performance in challenging environments are essential.
