Monel 400 UNS N04400 Super Alloy The Best Choice for Heat Exchangers in Corrosive Conditions

Monel 400 is recognized for its high strength, toughness, and outstanding resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments. It is a nickel-copper alloy that can only be hardened by cold working and is widely used in marine, chemical processing, and other industries where resistance to corrosion is critical.

Monel 400 has excellent resistance to many corrosive media, including hydrofluoric acid, seawater, and various acidic and alkaline solutions. The alloy maintains high strength and toughness over a wide temperature range. It has good weldability, allowing it to be joined using various welding processes. Monel 400 can be easily formed and machined using standard methods.
