    Monel 400 is a nickel-copper alloy containing 28-34% copper and 2.5% max iron. It exhibits good corrosion resistance. Monel 400 has a density of 8.8 gm/cm3, tensile strength of 517-620 MPa, and yield strength of 172-345 MPa. It is difficult to machine due to work hardening but can be welded, forged, or cold worked. Common applications include marine fixtures, chemical plant equipment, eyeglass frames, and aerospace and musical instruments.

    Introduction

    MONEL nickel alloy is a solid solution alloy that can be hardened by the process of cold
    working.

    MONEL is a trademark of Special Metals Corporation under which a series of nickel-


    copper alloys are grouped. Commercially there are many types of MONEL available,
    such as alloy 400, alloy 401, alloy R-405, Alloy K-500 and Monel 404.

    The Monel 400 alloy is also known as super alloy monel. This alloy is available in some
    standard shapes such as hexagon, round, tube, pipe, plate, strip, sheet and wire.

    The proportions of copper and nickel used to make monel are the same as that found in
    the nickel ore found in Ontario mines. This alloy exhibits good corrosion resistance. This
    datasheet will look into the chemical composition, properties and applications of
    MONEL 400 alloy.
