Monel Round Bar

Monel Round Bar Supplier in Mumbai, India

Nicorex Alloys is an ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified importer, stockist, and supplier of Monel round bars in Mumbai, India. We stock Monel 400 and K-500 in diameters from 5 mm to 500 mm under ASTM B164, ASTM B865, and their ASME SB counterparts.

Monel is a nickel-copper alloy (about 63% nickel, 28–34% copper). It resists flowing seawater, hydrofluoric acid, and caustic alkalis from cryogenic to 1000°F (538°C). Monel bars serve marine engineering, oil and gas, chemical processing, pump and valve manufacturing, aerospace, and power generation.

We stock a wide range of Monel Round Bar in multiple grades, including:

What Are Monel Round Bars?

Monel round bars are solid cylindrical products from nickel-copper alloys. Nickel forms the corrosion-resistant base. Copper adds seawater and reducing-acid resistance. Monel is spark-resistant and safe for hazardous areas. It outperforms 316L stainless steel and bronze in marine service with near-zero seawater corrosion and no chloride stress cracking.

Available Grades of Monel Round Bars

Nicorex Alloys stocks 3 Monel round bar grades.

Monel 400 Round Bar

Monel 400 is a solid-solution nickel-copper alloy hardened only by cold work. It resists seawater, hydrofluoric acid, and caustic alkalis. This grade is spark-resistant. Its tensile strength is min 480 MPa (annealed). 400 is used for marine shafts, valve stems, and chemical equipment. It complies with the ASTM B164 standard.

Monel K-500 Round Bar

Monel K-500 is an age-hardenable version of Monel 400 with aluminium and titanium. It yields about 3x the yield strength (690 MPa) and 2x the tensile (965 MPa) of Monel 400. It is non-magnetic to -150°F (-101°C). This grade has a greater SCC tendency than 400. K500 is used for pump shafts, propeller shafts, and oil well tools. ASTM B865 is the standard that covers this grade.

Monel R-405 Round Bar

Monel R-405 can be considered the free-machining version of Monel 400 with controlled sulfur (0.025–0.060%). It has the same corrosion resistance. This grade is used for screw machine products and high-volume fasteners. R-405 complies with the ASTM B164 standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Monel Round Bar used for?
Monel round bars are primarily used to manufacture marine propeller shafts, pump shafts, valve stems, bolts, studs, fasteners, oil well tools, and machined components that must resist seawater corrosion, hydrofluoric acid, and caustic alkalis in demanding operating conditions.
ASTM B164 covers Monel 400 rod, bar, and wire. ASTM B865 covers K-500 rod and bar. ASTM B564 covers forgings for both grades.

The diameter range available with us is as follows:

  • Standard diameters from 5 mm to 500 mm (approximately 0.5″ to 24″). 
  • The common stocking range is 6 mm to 300 mm. 
  • Larger diameters can be forged on order.
Choose K-500 when both high strength and corrosion resistance are needed. K-500 gives about 3x the yield strength of Monel 400. Use Monel 400 where stress corrosion cracking is a concern.
Monel 400 machines similarly to medium-carbon steel but work-hardens under heavy cuts. Use sharp carbide tools, keep a steady feed, avoid pausing on the workpiece, and use sulfurised cutting oil. Monel R-405, with added sulfur, is designed for easier machining on automatic screw machines and CNC lathes. Monel K-500 is harder to machine in the age-hardened condition because of its higher hardness (about 25–38 HRC).
Yes. Monel alloys are spark-resistant and safe for use in explosive or flammable areas.
PSQ bars are cold-drawn, centerless-ground Monel bars with tight tolerances for pump shafts and rotating equipment.
Monel K-500 is much stronger than nickel aluminium bronze (about 965 MPa vs ~450 MPa tensile strength) and has better fatigue resistance under repeated loading. It shows almost no corrosion in flowing seawater and does not suffer from dezincification or dealloying, which are common problems with bronze. It also keeps its strength at low (sub-zero) temperatures.
