Super Alloy Nickelvac K-500™ (UNS N05500)

Nickelvac K-500™ is an age-hardenable version of Monel 400 alloy. It has high strength and sea water corrosion resistance.
Availability:

Super alloys contain many elements in different combinations so as to achieve a desired result.  They have the ability to function at very high temperatures and under severe mechanical stress, and also where high surface stability is required.  They have good creep and oxidation resistance.  There are three groups of alloys, namely cobalt-based, nickel-based, and iron-based alloys.


Nickelvac K-500™ is an age-hardenable version of Monel 400 alloy.  It has high strength and sea water corrosion resistance.  The following datasheet gives more details about Nickelvac K-500™.

Fabrication and Heat Treatment

Machinability

Nickelvac K-500™ is machined in the annealed condition.


Forming

Nickelvac K-500™ can be formed using standard methods in the annealed condition.


Welding

Nickelvac K-500™ is welded using all conventional methods in the annealed condition. After this process, stress-relief annealing is performed for the finished weldment.


Heat Treatment

Nickelvac K-500™ is heat treated by annealing. It can also be precipitation-hardened by performing aging heat treatment.

 

Forging

Nickelvac K-500™ is forged at 1038 to 1149°C (1900 to 2100°F) followed by quenching in water.

 

Hot Working

Nickelvac K-500™ is hot worked at 872 to 1149°C (1600 to 2100°F) followed by quenching in water. It should not be cooled below 872°C (1600°F).

 

Cold Working

Nickelvac K-500™ can be cold worked using standard methods

 

Annealing

Nickelvac K-500™ is annealed at 1038°C (1900°F) followed by quenching in water.

 

Aging

Annealed or slightly cold-worked material is age-hardened at 608°C (1125°F ) for 16 h followed by cooling in a furnace. Severely cold-worked material is aged at 538°C (1000°F) for 6 h followed by cooling in a furnace.


Applications

Super alloy Nickelvac K-500™ is used in impellers, sea water pump shafts, and oil well industry for valve trim and other components.


Super Alloy Nickelvac K-500™ (UNS N05500)


Overview

MONEL K500 is a age-hardenable Nickel-Copper alloy which combines the corrosion resistance of Alloy 400 with high strength corrosion fatigue and erosion resistance.


MONEL K500 is a nickel-copper alloy, precipitation hardenable through additions of aluminum and titanium. MONEL K500 retains the excellent corrosion resistant characteristics of 400 and has enhanced strength and hardness after precipitation hardening when compared with 400. Alloy K500 has approximately three (3) times the yield strength and double the tensile strength when compared with 400. MONEL K500 can be further strengthened by cold working before the precipitation hardening.


Characteristics

Excellent mechanical properties from sub-zero temperatures up to about 480C.

Corrosion resistance in an extensive range of marine and chemical environments. From pure water to non-oxidising mineral acids, salts and alkalis.


Applications

Propeller and pump shafts.

Pumps and valves used in the manufacture of perchlorethylene, chlorinated plastics.

Typical application for MONEL K500 which takes advantage of high strength and corrosion resistance are pump shafts, impellers, propeller shafts, valve components for ships and offshore drilling towers, bolting, oil well drill collars and instrumentation components for oil and gas production. It is particularly well suited for centrifugal pumps in the marine industry because of its high strength and low corrosion rates in high-velocity seawater.


MONEL K500 is non-magnetic. MONEL K500 should be annealed when welded and the weldment then stress relieved before aging.


High Performance Alloys, Inc. stocks Alloy K500 in a range of sizes including 3/8"-2-1/2" diameter cold drawn, annealed and aged, and 2-3/4"-10" diameter hot finished and aged. Material can be supplied in random lengths, cut to order or machined to your specifications. Machining includes drilling, turning, tapping, threading, CNC shapes, flanges and more.
