High-Quality Monel 400 Plates and Sheets in ASTM B127 UNS N04400 for Corrosion-Resistant Industrial Applications
Monel 400 Plates and Sheets are manufactured of solid-solution nickel-copper alloy which is known to provide high resistance to corrosion, high mechanical strength and long duration of life of a product under rigorous conditions of use. These plates and sheets, which are manufactured to ASTM B127 and ASME SB127 material specifications, and are specified as UNS N04400 / WNR 2.4360, provide dependable service in severe marine, offshore, chemical handling and heat-transfer apparatuses where standard stainless steel alloys cannot achieve integrity.
Monel Alloy 400 has a chemical composition of a mix of about 63 percent nickel and 28 34 percent copper with the addition of iron, silicon, manganese and carbon being under control. This balance offers a very high level of resistance to seawater, damp condition, high temperature and high temperature steam, neutral and alkaline salt solution, and also to fast moving brackish water. It also has a high resistance to de-aerated hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid and is immune to stress corrosion cracking, and pitting induced by chlorides.
Reinforced, Monel 400 plates and sheets with either hot rolled (HR) or cold rolled (CR) finishes have a high level of dimensional stability with high workability in the forming, machining, cutting, bending, grinding and polishing processes. They are tough enough to operate to sub-zero cryogenic temperatures down to 538oC (1000 o F) at high service temperatures, so they are used in heat exchangers, pump and valve bodies, condenser systems, seawater scrubbers, desalination equipment, chemical reactors, power generation units and fabricated process equipment.
Monel K500 Plates and Sheets can be used in place of Monel K800 to offer higher performance, with increased mechanical properties due to the ability to age-harden.

What Are Monel 400 Plates and Sheets and Understanding Their Manufacturing to ASTM B127 UNS N04400 Standards
Monel 400 Plates and Sheets are outstanding nickel-copper alloys flat-rolls that are characterized by excellent corrosion resistant features, high strength and prolonged performance in the aggressive environment. This alloy is categorized as UNS N04400 / WNR 2.4360, which is a fine mixture of nickel and copper with traces of iron, silicon and manganese to promote longevity and strength. This is highly trusted in industries whereby normal stainless steels are not able to withstand adverse operating environments.
These plates and sheets are produced in line with ASTM B127 and ASME SB127 requirements, which have strict control over chemical properties, dimensional and surface finish and mechanical performance. The compound enhances numerous fabrication operations such as forming, welding, machining, cutting, bending and polishing, and is still very tough at cryogenic temperature up to high service temperature.
Monel 400 has a remarkable ability to resist the rapid flowing seawater, steam, moisture, alkaline and neutral salt solutions, and excels in resisting the acid attack in de-aerated environments, hence it is ideally suited to heat exchangers, marine hardware, pump and valve parts, desalination systems, chemical processing equipment, offshore structures and condenser units.
The Monel 400 Plates and Sheets are designed with a demanding application in the marine, chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, and power generation industries and still continue to be a preferred material in corrosion-intensive and safety-critical operating conditions.
