What is Monel (Ni-Cu Alloy)?
Monel is a family of nickel-copper alloys (primarily Monel 400 and Monel K500) containing approximately 65% nickel and 30% copper. It is prized for resistance to seawater, acids, and high temperatures, making it standard in marine engineering, desalination plants, and offshore oil and gas. Monel is non-magnetic and priced as a blend of nickel and copper content.
Tips for Best Price
- Marine propeller shafts and saltwater valves are common Monel sources.
- Test non-magnetic and look for the characteristic silvery-grey colour.
- Monel is often confused with stainless steel. Get it XRF-tested to confirm.
- Brewery and food industry valves are sometimes Monel because of its acid resistance.
