Description :
Monel alloys are nickel-based alloys that contain between 29% and 33% copper. This alloy Initially created by metallurgist Robert Crooks Stanley and patented in 1905 by the International Nickel Company. The metal was given the name Monel in honor of the Director.There are six types of Monel materials. All contain a large percentage of nickel up to 67%, while some iron, manganese, carbon, and/or silicon. Small additions of aluminum and titanium, can increase strength, particularly at high temperatures, making it useful in aerospace applications.
Monel products have a great deal to offer. They are the great choice for many critically significant industries. It could also be easily welded, soldered, and brazed due to :
- High corrosion-resistance to acids and alkalis
- Very high mechanical strength
- Good ductility
- Relatively low cost
- Availability in different forms such as hot and cold-rolled sheets, plates, rods, bars, and tubes
- Attractive appearance and finishing similar to copper
