Monel K500 Fasteners are precipitation hardenable nickel and copper-base alloy fasteners. These fasteners are developed
for excellent corrosion resistance adding with benefits of great hardness and strength.
These have some trusted properties such as strength, hardness, and fracture toughness that are achieved by addition to
aluminum and titanium also with nickel and copper alloy. the thermal applications or operations are used to effect
precipitation. This process is known as age hardening. When it is exposed to the age-hardening process, these fasteners get
a greater tendency against stress corrosion cracking in all sorts of severe environments. It has thrice time more yield strength
when compared to its standard version.
Moreover, the cold working operation is recommended before precipitation hardening. The strength of fasteners is stable up
to 1200 deg F. here, in this temperature it becomes more ductile and toughness is achieved around 400 deg F. it has a
higher melting point around 2400 deg F to 2460 deg F. Mainly, Monet K500 grade is a spark resistant alloy. this becomes non-magnetic below -200 deg F. in terms of cold working operation it is possible to achieve magnetic structure.
