MONEL 400, Nickel-Copper Alloy, Alloy 400

UNS N04400, EN 2.4360, NiCu30Fe

Monel 400 has a composition of Copper and Nickel. It is an alloy which provides combination of noble properties of Copper and passivation property of Nickel. It possesses excellent strength and toughness along with superior corrosion resistance in wide temperature environment. It also has excellent resistance against chloride-induced stress corrosion. It can be hardened only by cold forming.
