Nickel Alloys Alloy K500 Flanges Overview
Zeon Exports supplies Nickel Alloy K500 (Monel, UNS N05500) flanges, an age-hardenable nickel-copper alloy combining Monel 400's corrosion resistance with roughly triple the yield strength for marine and oil & gas process piping.
Nickel Alloy K500 (Monel) Flanges connect and seal seawater and chemical process piping where high strength and corrosion resistance are both required. Precipitation hardened through aluminum and titanium additions, it retains the corrosion resistance of Alloy 400 while offering roughly triple the yield strength and double the tensile strength.
- Age-hardened via aluminum and titanium for very high strength
- Non-magnetic to as low as -101°C (-150°F)
- EN 10204 3.1 certified, export-ready worldwide

Corrosion Resistance of Nickel Alloy K500 (Monel)
- Nickel Alloy K500 Flanges retain Alloy 400's corrosion profile while adding significant strength.
- Seawater resistance: excellent resistance to seawater and marine atmospheres, ideal for offshore piping.
- Acid resistance: strong resistance to hydrofluoric acid and reducing acids, inherited from the base Alloy 400 chemistry.
- Non-magnetic: remains virtually non-magnetic down to -101°C, useful near magnetic-sensitive equipment.
Heat Resistance of Nickel Alloy K500 (Monel)
Nickel Alloy K500 flanges maintain their strength up to roughly 649°C (1,200°F) and stay ductile and tough at low sub-zero temperatures. Always confirm exact service limits against the governing standard and application before specifying.
Key Properties of Nickel Alloys Alloy K500 Flanges
Beyond corrosion and heat performance, Monel K-500 flanges offer these additional properties.
- Roughly triple the yield strength of Alloy 400
- Good galling and wear resistance versus austenitic bolting
- Age hardened after cold working for maximum strength
- Good toughness maintained into low sub-zero temperatures
