Monel Metal
Companies in the marine, oil, and chemical processing industries use a great deal of Monel in their machinery. Monel is a nickel alloy, prized for its strength and ability to resist corrosion. Its applications include crude petroleum stills, gasoline and fresh water tanks, marine fixtures and fasteners, and chemical processing equipment. At All Metals & Forge, clients can order Monel in several forms, including Monel 400 and Monel K500.
As resistant to corrosive forces as nickel but less expensive and easier to work with, Monel is widely used in situations where seawater, petroleum, or de-aerated acids come into contact with machinery. When a piece of equipment needs to stand up to interior or exterior corrosives, Monel is the fail-safe solution. It also has higher maximum working temperatures than nickel, making it the preferred metal for boiler feed water heaters and other heat exchangers.

In addition to the popular nickel-copper alloy Monel 400, All Metals & Forge also has many Monel K500 products in stock. Monel K500 is an age-hardened version of Monel 400, meaning it has greater strength and resistance to corrosives, especially sea water. Monel K500 is ideal for use in machinery that is either submerged in the ocean or regularly exposed to sea water. Off-shore oil rigs, for instance, use Monel K500 for valve trimming and pump shafts.
All Metals & Forge has a steel service center and a forging company, both of which offer Monel K500 products. The steel service center is a lot like a lumber yard, in that clients can purchase pre-cut alloys in different shapes, sizes and specifications. Monel K500 is available in pre-cut seamless pipe, hollow bar, strip, flat bar, and more. The forging company also custom forges Monel K500 in contour rings, discs, shafts, open dies, and other forms.
Although they have secured their place as leaders in the specialty steel supply market, All Metals & Forge has a lot more to offer than just a huge inventory of steel products. They also provide a wealth of metallurgical information on their website. The Information Resources section of the site has become an online library for people searching for everything from definitions of metallurgical terms to industry news to a ferrous/non-ferrous materials overview.
