Monel
What is Monel
Monel is a group of nickel-copper alloys known for their superior corrosion resistance, high strength, and excellent durability in harsh environments. Typically containing about 65-70% nickel and 20-29% copper, Monel also includes small amounts of iron, manganese, carbon, and silicon. It is highly resistant to seawater, acids, and alkaline substances, making it a preferred material in marine and chemical processing industries.
Asiad Steel Industries is a trusted supplier of premium Monel products, offering customized grades and dimensions to meet specific industrial requirements.

Do you have questions?
What makes Monel suitable for marine applications?
Its exceptional resistance to saltwater corrosion and biofouling makes Monel ideal for marine systems and offshore structures.
Is Monel magnetic?
Monel 400 is slightly magnetic at room temperature, while Monel K500 is more magnetic due to added nickel and aluminum.
Can Monel be machined easily?
Yes, but it requires slow speeds and rigid tools due to its work-hardening properties.
Is Monel compatible with welding?
Yes, Monel can be welded using gas tungsten arc welding and metal arc welding with appropriate filler metals.
