Monel 500 Mesh

  

Monel K500 Standard Expanded Mesh is one kind of the nickel-copper alloy mesh. Monel K500 Expanded mesh Sheet combines the excellent corrosion resistance of Monel 400 Mesh with the added advantage of greater strength and hardness.Alloy K-500 Expanded Mesh Sheet has approximately three times the yield strength and double the tensile strength when compared with alloy 400. When in the age-hardened condition.

Monel K-500 Expanded Mesh has a greater tendency toward stress-corrosion cracking in some conditions than Monel 400 alloy Mesh. The strength of this nickel Copper alloy is maintained to 1200° F but stays ductile and tough down to temperatures of 400° F. Its melting range is 2400-2460° F. Nickel alloy K-500 Mesh has a greater tendency toward stress-corrosion cracking in some environments.

Monel K-500 Expanded Mesh is resistant to a sour-gas environment. The combined Characteristics of very low corrosion rates in high-velocity sear water and high strength make alloy K-500 mesh particularly suitable for marine service. In stagnant or slow-moving sea water, fouling may occur followed by pitting but this pitting slows down after a fairly rapid initial attack.

Monel K-500 Expanded Mesh Types:


Standard Expanded Mesh is the original and most popular type of expanded mesh with the familiar diamond shaped opening. The strands are turned at a sharp angle to the plane of the sheet giving a dimensional appearance to the finished material.

Width: 0.9M-2.4M    Length: 15M-30M
aperture rate: 5%-95%

This nickel alloy is spark resistant and non-magnetic to -200° F. However, it is possible to develop a magnetic layer on the surface of the material during processing. Aluminum and copper may be selectively oxidized during heating, leaving a magnetic nickel rich film on the outside. Pickling or bright dipping in acid can remove this magnetic film and restore the non-magnetic properties.
