Key Properties of MONEL K500 Round Bar
- High Strength: Tensile strength up to 1,034 MPa and yield strength of 690 MPa after aging treatment, making it suitable for high-stress components35.
- Outstanding Corrosion Resistance: Resists seawater, acids, and chlorides, outperforming most stainless steels in marine and chemical environments14.
- Heat Resistance: Maintains mechanical stability up to 1,350°C, ideal for high-temperature applications45.
- Excellent Machinability: Can be forged, welded, and machined using conventional methods despite its high hardness (~450 HV)23.
- Non-Magnetic: Perfect for aerospace and electronic components requiring non-magnetic properties17.
Machining and Processing Methods
MONEL K500 round bars require specialized techniques to optimize performance:
- Heat Treatment:
- Solution Annealing: Heat to 1,000–1,050°C followed by rapid cooling to enhance ductility35.
- Aging Treatment: Temper at 480–520°C for 1–2 hours to achieve peak strength35.
- Forming: Suitable for hot/cold forging and rolling to produce rods, plates, or custom shapes24.
- Welding: Compatible with TIG, MIG, and resistance welding; post-weld aging recommended57.
- Surface Treatment: Polishing or coatings to enhance wear resistance in abrasive environments5.
