Product Description

Monel is a nickel-copper alloy that is mainly actualized for its strength, toughness, and capacity to resist corrosion and high temperatures. It is widely utilized in various settings with extreme environmental conditions. It is widely preferred in chemical and hydrocarbon processing equipment, marine engineering, valves, pumps, and shafts on account of its high reliability and longevity.

On the other hand, it plays vital roles in the space industry through parts for jets, engine mounts and exhaust systems due to an excellent capacity to endure extreme conditions. Also, monel is used in electronics and medical fields for their high conductivity and non-reactivity.

The alloy stands out in applications such as the development of musical instruments as well as measurement devices where non-erosive and durable materials are preferable.
