Overview
As a leading supplier & manufacturer in China, AEETHER supply cost-effective Monel 400 Products.
MONEL® nickel-copper alloy 400 (UNS N04400 / W.Nr. 2.4360 and 2.4361) is a solid-solution alloy that can be hardened only by cold working. It has high strength and toughness over a wide temperature rangeand excellent resistance to many corrosive environments.
Alloy 400 is widely used in many fields, especially marine and chemical processing. Typical applications are valves and pumps; pump and propeller shafts; marine fixtures and fasteners; electrical and electronic components; springs; chemical processing equipment; gasoline and fresh water tanks; crude petroleum stills, process vessels and piping; boiler feedwater heaters andother heat exchangers; and deaerating heaters.
Mechanical Properties
MONEL alloy 400 has excellent mechanical properties at subzero temperatures. Strength and hardness increase with only slight impairment of ductility or impact resistance. The alloy does not undergo a ductile-to-brittle transition even when cooled to the temperature of liquid hydrogen. This is in marked contrast to many ferrous materials which are brittle at low temperatures despite their increased strength.
Corrosion Resistance
MONEL alloy 400 exhibits resistance to corrosion by many reducing media. It is also generally more resistant to attack by oxidizing media than higher copper alloys. This versatility makes alloy 400 suitable for service in a variety of environments.
Alloy 400 is widely used in marine applications. While alloy 400 products exhibit very low corrosion rates in flowing seawater, stagnant conditions have been shown to induce crevice and pitting corrosion. Alloy 400 is also resistant to stress corrosion cracking and pitting in most fresh and industrial waters.
MONEL alloy 400 offers exceptional resistance to hydrofluoric acid in all concentrations up to the boiling point. It is perhaps the most resistant of all commonly used engineering alloys. Alloy 400 is also resistant to many forms of sulfuric and hydrochloric acids under reducing conditions.

Monel 400 Applications
FAQ
What is the difference between Monel 400 and pure nickel or pure copper?
Monel 400 is an alloy made from a mixture of various elements (mainly nickel and copper), while pure nickel and pure copper contain no other elements. In terms of properties, pure copper and pure nickel are relatively soft, while Monel 400 not only achieves higher strength through alloying but also gains better corrosion resistance and certain high-temperature performance.
What is the difference between copper-nickel alloys and nickel-copper alloys?
Copper-nickel alloys are copper alloys, with copper as the main element. Nickel-copper alloys are nickel alloys, with nickel as the main element and copper as a minor element. Their properties are significantly different, so please carefully consider your needs before purchasing.
What are the roles of the main elements in Monel 400 alloys?
Nickel contributes to a more stable structure in Monel 400, enabling it to withstand certain high temperatures while maintaining good ductility. Copper provides the alloy with better corrosion resistance and better electrical conductivity.
How can I purchase your products?
You can send us your requirements directly via email: [email protected], or fill out the form at the bottom of the page and submit it. Our sales team will send you a detailed quotation. If you are interested in our offer, you can send us a PO (Purchase Order). We will provide you with a PI (Proforma Invoice) for payment. We will begin material production upon receiving the prepayment. We will notify you as soon as the materials are complete.
Why do different products have different mechanical properties?
Different mechanical properties may depend on many factors:
1) Different product processes;
2) Different cold working and heat treatment methods;
3) Different dimensions.
Is Monel 400 material suitable for room temperature or high temperature?
Although Monel 400 can withstand certain high temperatures, its high-temperature resistance is limited. Therefore, Monel 400 is generally used in some room-temperature applications, typically marine vessels.
What is purity?
Purity is an indicator of the proportion of impurity or harmful elements in an alloy. The lower the proportion of impurity or harmful elements, the higher the purity, and thus the better the material's performance.
