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.

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.
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.
