Monel plates are corrosion-resistant alloy steel plates composed primarily of nickel (up to 67%) and copper, with small amounts of iron, manganese, and other elements. Known for their exceptional resistance to seawater, acids (especially hydrofluoric and sulfuric), and alkalis, Monel plates are ideal for use in highly corrosive and marine environments. Common grades include Monel 400 and Monel K500, with the latter offering higher strength due to its age-hardening capability.
Monel plates are widely used in industries such as marine engineering, chemical processing, oil & gas, and power generation. They are suitable for applications like pump and valve components, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and structural parts exposed to harsh conditions. These plates conform to standards such as ASTM B127, offering excellent mechanical properties, weldability, and performance across a wide temperature range. Their durability and resistance to stress corrosion cracking make them a reliable choice for demanding applications.
