Monel Alloy 405

Description

Overview:

The Monel 405 is known to be the free machining alternative of Monel 400. It is an alloy prepared from the combination of nickel and copper, with the addition of a regulated amount of sulfur.

This addition was done keeping in mind that the sulfide inclusions will serve the purpose of chip breakers, especially when used in machining.

Monel R405 offers resistance against steam at high temperatures and to seawater as well. The nickel alloy exhibits ample features, including resistivity against corrosion, high strength, and excellent weldability.
