Nickel Alloy pipe Monel 400 Tube 1100°F In Nuclear energy and power generation

Product Introduction

Monel 400 tube has important applications in the nuclear energy and power generation sectors, mainly due to its excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature performance. Monel 400 alloy is mainly composed of about 63% nickel and 28-34% copper, and also contains a small amount of iron, usually between 1% and 2%. This alloy performs well in a variety of corrosive media, including seawater, acids (such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid), alkaline solutions, and various corrosive gases. Its physical properties include density 8.8 g/cm³, melting point 1300°C to 1350°C, tensile strength of at least 450 MPa, yield strength of at least 170 MPa, and elongation of at least 30%. In the nuclear energy field, Monel 400 tube is widely used to manufacture heat exchangers and steam generators in nuclear power plants because it can withstand high temperatures and corrosive fluids, ensuring efficient heat transfer and long-term durability of the equipment. In the field of power generation, Monel 400 tube is suitable for manufacturing feedwater and steam generator pipes in power plants. Its excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature stability ensure the long-term stable operation of the pipes under harsh working conditions.

Specific Applications

1. Nuclear power plant equipment: In nuclear power plants, it is used to manufacture pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment that come into contact with cooling water. Its corrosion resistance and high strength can ensure the reliable operation of the equipment in high temperature, high pressure and radioactive environments.
2. Thermal power plants: It is used to manufacture pipes for feedwater heaters, steam generators and other equipment. It can resist the erosion of high temperature and corrosive media, and improve power generation efficiency and equipment life.

Advantages and Characteristics

1. Moderate density: The density of Monel 400 is about 8.83 g/cm³, which has a suitable weight-to-strength ratio in engineering applications and is easy to process and install.
2. High thermal conductivity: Its thermal conductivity is about 21 W/(m-K), which can conduct heat efficiently and has advantages in some occasions that require good thermal conductivity, such as heat exchangers and other equipment.
3. High strength and high toughness: Monel 400 has high tensile strength and yield strength. The tensile strength at room temperature can reach 480 N/mm², and the yield strength is 170 N/mm². Its elongation is also high, usually between 20% and 35%, which enables it to withstand greater stress and is not easy to break during processing and use.
4. Good high temperature performance: Monel 400 can still maintain good strength and hardness in high temperature environment. Its melting point is about 1300℃, and it can work stably for a long time in high temperature environment. It is suitable for high temperature equipment such as high temperature furnaces and heat exchangers.
