Applications of monel alloys
Monel is a very corrosion-resistant alloy; therefore, it is used for the manufacture of parts operating in aggressive environments. It also has a ductility and high tensile strength. In particular, the low corrosion rate in marine and fresh water has determined hastelloy c276 round bar use in shipbuilding. In addition, this unique alloy has also found application in the oil, chemical, textile, medical industries. In these industries, monel metal is used for the manufacture of pickling tanks and vessels, small fittings for steam boilers, small stamped products, for musical instruments, electrical equipment, spectacle frames and so on. Monel metal is an alloy that contains up to sixty-seven percent of nickel and up to thirty-eight percent of copper. The name "Monel" is a trademark owned by Special Metals Corporation. The alloy was created by David Brown, the chief metallurgist of International Nickel Co. and named after the president of the company Ambr...
