Hexa Metal trading  Co.  is a distinguished exporter, manufacturer, and supplier of Monel 400 Flat Bars and Monel K500 Flat Bars in India, catering to diverse industrial needs. Alloy 400 (UNS N04400) boasts good magnetostrictive properties, while Alloy K500 (UNS N05500) exhibits resistance to various reducing chemicals and caustic alkalies. These nickel and cobalt-based alloys, including MONEL K500, are known for their corrosion, temperature, and wear resistance, falling within the moderate to hard machining category. However, with conservative production approaches, they can be machined at reasonable rates.

Monel 400 Flat Bars find extensive usage in cladding for upper areas of oil refinery crude columns, propeller and pump shafts, owing to their slight magnetism at room temperature. Offering these Nickel Alloy Flat Bars at competitive prices, Hexa Steel & Engg. Co. ensures superior quality and affordability.

The mechanical properties of Monel K500 Flat Bars are noteworthy, featuring exceptional durability with a tensile strength of 1000 mega pounds per square inch (Mpsi) and high resistance to corrosion, pitting, and cracking. Some grades may also exhibit excellent thermal conductivity and magnetic permeability.

Monel K500’s chemical composition, primarily nickel and copper with trace amounts of iron, manganese, and silicon, sets it apart from other Monel alloys. Enhanced corrosion resistance is achieved by adding aluminum and titanium to the flats. Monel K500 Flat Bars find application in diverse industries, including domestic plumbing fixtures, chemical processing equipment, and power generation components, thanks to their substantially higher strength compared to Monel 400, making them ideal for demanding environments where durability is paramount.
