Monel 400 Plates Industrial Uses

Monel 400 (UNS N04400) is made in the different standards such as

ASTM B164 QQ-N-281 din 17750, ASTM B127 QQ-N-281, ASTM B127
QQ-N-281, ASTM B165, ASTM B564, FM 60/ERNiCu-7/17753, FM 190
ENiCu-7 and Din 2.4360.
Monel alloy 400 has good ductility and heat conductivity.
The chemical composition of Monel 400 is
Nickel- 63%, Copper 28 to 34%, Iron 2.5%, Manganese 2%,
silicon 0.50%, Al 2.7%, Sulfur 0.010 0.024%, Titanium 0.5%.
Alloy 400 can be tempered or cold processed to enhance its
characteristics, it is delivered in an annealed condition. The alloy is
used in marine engineering, chemical and hydrocarbon processing
systems and others. In an annealed condition, alloy 400 can be
easily formed and fabricated without the additional need of heat
processing.
Alloy 400 is also ASME approved for construction applications. It is
highly weldable The physical properties of Monel 400 are:
Density 88.3 kg/m, magnetic permeability at 20oC- shows
magnetism as its curie temperature is near the room temperature,
youngs modulus 179 x 10(3) N/mm2, specific heat capacity- 419
J/kg.K at 20oC, specific electrical resistance at 20oC- 0.51, thermal
conductivity 21.8 W/m/K at 20oC, mean coefficient of thermal
expansion 14.1 x 10(-6) /K at 20 to 100oC.
Monel grades- alloy 400 and alloy K500 are considered as
universal alloys for providing suitable performance in almost all
types of corrosive media that is found in the diverse industries.
Monel wire mesh can be used to filter the various kinds of corrosive
liquids and gases at the different temperatures. The alloy has high
strength that it retains its shape for the longer period and can
handle the application stress effectively.
Applications of Monel 400
Monel 400 grade finds extensive applications in marine, oil and
chemical processing industries. Its applications include crude
petroleum stills, gasoline and fresh water tanks, marine fasteners,
and chemical processing apparatus.
The corrosion resistant nickel is an economical and easily processing
metal, it is commonly used in the conditions where marine water,
petroleum or de-aerated acids come into contact with equipment.
When a material of equipment requires withstanding internal or

external corrosives, Monel is a recommended metal for the boiler

feed water heaters and heat exchangers.
Monel 400 is specialty steel that is offered in the diverse shapes and
sizes in the pre-cut and custom forged. It has good strength and
high durability in the natural and chemical corrosives, Monel 400 is
also affordable nickel and can be easily worked. Monel alloy 400
made in the different forms such as pipe, plate, sheet, wire and
various other forms.
Monel alloy 400 is utilized in the diverse industrial sectors such as
marine, chemical and hydrocarbon processing devices, valves,
shafts, fasteners and heat exchangers. Alloy 400 is for its high
strength and corrosion resistance characteristics. It is suitable for
use in the diverse temperatures and is commonly used as piping. It
is resistant to steam and seawater. Good toughness and anticorrosive characteristics make it suitable for the heavy-duty
applications for example transfer pipes in the oil refineries.
