Monel 400 Nickel Alloy Sheet Plate Nickel Alloy Plate Monel400 Uns N04400

Monel 400 stainless steel plate is a remarkable nickel - copper alloy known for its outstanding corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. This alloy, with the UNS designation N04400, has become a popular choice across a wide range of industries due to its unique combination of features.

• Nickel (Ni): Monel 400 contains a high percentage of nickel, typically around 63%. Nickel provides excellent resistance to corrosion in various environments, especially in reducing conditions. It also contributes to the alloy's good ductility and toughness.

• Copper (Cu): With approximately 28 - 34% copper content, this element enhances the alloy's resistance to corrosion in acidic and marine environments. Copper also improves the alloy's electrical conductivity.

• Other Elements: Small amounts of iron, manganese, carbon, and silicon are present in the alloy. Iron helps in strengthening the alloy, while manganese acts as a deoxidizer during the manufacturing process. Carbon and silicon are present in controlled amounts to maintain the alloy's desired properties.

• Density: The density of Monel 400 is about 8.8 g/cm3. This relatively high density is a characteristic of nickel - based alloys and gives the plate a substantial and durable feel.

• Melting Point: It has a melting point in the range of 1300 - 1350°C. This high melting point makes it suitable for applications where the material needs to withstand high - temperature conditions.

• Tensile Strength: Monel 400 has a minimum tensile strength of around 485 MPa. This high tensile strength allows the plate to endure significant mechanical stress without deformation or failure.

• Yield Strength: The yield strength is typically around 170 MPa. This indicates the stress at which the material begins to deform plastically, and the high yield strength of Monel 400 ensures its reliability in structural applications.

• Elongation: The alloy has an elongation of around 35% in the annealed condition. This high elongation means that the plate can be easily formed and fabricated into different shapes without cracking.

• Marine Environments: Monel 400 is highly resistant to corrosion in seawater. It resists pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress - corrosion cracking in marine conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for applications such as shipbuilding, offshore oil and gas platforms, and marine hardware.

• Chemical Environments: It shows excellent resistance to a wide variety of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and salts. In particular, it is resistant to hydrofluoric acid and is used in chemical processing plants for handling such corrosive substances.

• Atmospheric Corrosion: The alloy also has good resistance to atmospheric corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor applications where it may be exposed to the elements.

• Aviation: In the aviation industry, Monel 400 plates are used for components that require high strength and corrosion resistance. For example, they can be used in aircraft fuel tanks, engine components, and structural parts.

• Electronics: Due to its good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, it is used in electronic connectors, switches, and other components where reliable performance is crucial.

• Industrial: In industrial settings, Monel 400 plates are used for heat exchangers, pumps, valves, and piping systems. Its resistance to corrosion and high - temperature performance make it a reliable choice for handling various fluids and gases.

• Medical: In the medical field, the alloy's biocompatibility and corrosion resistance make it suitable for certain medical devices and equipment, such as surgical instruments and implants.

• Chemical: Chemical processing plants use Monel 400 plates for storage tanks, reaction vessels, and other equipment that comes into contact with corrosive chemicals.

• Hot and Cold Working: Monel 400 can be hot - worked at temperatures between 870 - 1175°C. It can also be cold - worked, allowing for the production of plates with different thicknesses and shapes. Cold working can further increase the alloy's strength.

• Welding: The alloy can be welded using various methods, including gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). Proper welding techniques are required to ensure the integrity of the weld and maintain the alloy's corrosion - resistant properties.

• Machining: Monel 400 can be machined using standard machining techniques. However, due to its high strength and toughness, appropriate cutting tools and machining parameters need to be selected to achieve good surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

Our Monel 400 stainless steel plates are manufactured in accordance with ASTM/ASME standards.
