Monel 400 Alloy Characteristic
Monel 400/UNS N04400/ DIN W. Nr 2.4360 and 2.4361 is a high strength and excellent resistance nickel copper alloy 400. Alloy 400 is widely apply in many fields, marine and chemical processing, electrical and electronic, pumps and valves, heat exchangers and feedwater heaters, deaerating heaters, etc.
Alloy 400 Corrosion Resistance:
Monel alloy 400 exhibits resistance to corrosion by many reducing media. It is also generally more resistant to attack by oxidizing media than higher copper alloys. This versatility makes alloy 400 suitable for service in a variety of environments.
Alloy 400 offers exceptional resistance to hydrofluoric acid in all concentrations up to boiling point. It is perhaps the most resistant of all commonly used engineering alloys. Alloy 400 is also resistant to many forms of sulfuric and hydrochloric acids under reducing conditions.
Fabricating for Monel 400
Monel alloy 400 is softer than many steels. The range of hot- forming temperatures is 1200℉ to 2150℉. For heavy reductions, recommended metal temperatures is 1700℉ to 2150℉. Light reductions may be taken down to 1200℉.
