Project Description

Monel R-405 (UNS N04405 / W.Nr. 2.4360, 2.4361)

Monel R-405 (UNS N04405 / W.Nr. 2.4360, 2.4361 the free-machining version of Monel 400. A controlled amount of sulfur is added to the alloy to provide sulfide inclusions that act as chip breakers during machining. A Ni-Cu alloy with high strength and excellent resistance to a range of media including seawater, hydrofluoric and sulfuric acids, and alkalies. Used in marine and offshore engineering, chemical andhydrocarbon processing equipement, valves, pumps, shafts, fittings, fasteners, and heat exchangers.

Features

  • Resistant to seawater and steam at high temperatures
  • Excellent resistance to rapidly flowing brackish water or seawater
  • Excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking in most freshwaters
  • Particularly resistant to hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids when they are de-aerated
  • Offers some resistance to hydrochloric and sulfuric acids at modest temperatures and concentrations, but is seldom the material of choice for these acids
  • Excellent resistance to neutral and alkaline salt
  • Resistance to chloride induced stress corrosion cracking
  • Good mechanical properties from sub-zero temperatures up to 1020° F
  • High resistance to alkalis
