Description

Overview:

The Monel 502 is a superalloy that possesses the capability to function well at significantly high temperatures. Not just that, it has been designed to handle the severe form of mechanical stress. The alloy comes with a goof creep & oxidation resistance.

The nickel-copper composition of the alloy allows it to be molded into varying shapes. They can easily be used for solid-solution hardening, precipitation hardening, as well as work hardening to increase the overall strength.

Possible Alternative Grades:

  • Monel 400: High strength & optimum corrosion resistance make up for this Monel alloy, which is a great Monel 502 alternative.
  • Monel 401: This particular Monel 502 alternative is used for varying electrical applications that are covered under the UNS N04401 standard.
  • Monel 404: With a low curing temperature and low permeability, this Monel 502 alternative is used for capsule transistors or metal-ceramic sealings.
  • Monel 405: A free-machining alloy of the Monel 400, this metal is used primarily for the automatic screw stocks for the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • What is the difference between Monel and cupronickel?

The prime difference between cupronickel and Monel is the fact that the former houses 60 percent or more copper, while the latter is composed primarily of nickel.

  • Who created the Monel alloy?

The Monel alloy was created in the year 1901 by Robert Crooks Stanley. He worked at the INCO or the International Nickel Company.

  • What are the popular companies that have used Monel?

Answer: Monel has been used by popular companies such as Arrow Fastener Co. Inc., Kelvinator Refrigerators, Baby Alice Thumb Guard, and so on.
